You're not the only one with this problem. A friend of mine has this
problem on his server, which runs 4.8-STABLE from around August, and
perl 5.8.1. He noticed the problem with irssi installing stuff into
/lib. Sure enough, ${prefix} was being emptied, for some bizarre reason.
I have no idea why this is, and I look forward to hearing input from
others on this list.
But, you're not alone in experiencing this.
