I have the same issue: Alien::wxWidgets fails to (automatically) install on a local lib environment. I have the "MODULEBUILDRC" environment variable set to /home/garu/perl5/.modulebuildrc, and that file is a single line containing "install --install_base /home/garu/perl5". "perl Build.PL && ./Build && ./Build test" run smoothly, but "./Build install" doesn't seem to honor that variable, as it keeps trying to do a system-wide installation: ----------------8<---------------- $ set | grep BUILD MODULEBUILDRC=/home/garu/perl5/.modulebuildrc $ cat /home/garu/perl5/.modulebuildrc install --install_base /home/garu/perl5 $ ./Build install Building Alien-wxWidgets (if test -d utils/wxrc ; then cd utils/wxrc && make all ; fi) make[1]: Entering directory `/home/garu/projetos/Alien-wxWidgets-0.51/wxWidgets-2.8.11/bld/utils/wxrc' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/garu/projetos/Alien-wxWidgets-0.51/wxWidgets-2.8.11/bld/utils/wxrc' make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Any clues? At first I thought this would be a problem with Module::Build itself, but since every single other module using M:B works fine with the above configuration and only Alien::wxWidgets doesn't, I figured it might be related to the bundled "inc" installation modules in this package. I failed to find where, though :( Cheers, breno
