I cannot confirm this. Both with perl-5.8.8 and 5.10.0, the package installs 
files into the DESTDIR, but it installs wrong files. See the URL above, I can 
add nothing to what is already said there. If you insist on your point, please 
provide full command lines starting with "perl Makefile.PL", and look into the 
.packlist and perllocal.pod inside the DESTDIR.
