Same thing happens with LIB at beginning of line. I suspect FreeBSD cruft relating to moving perl5 from /usr/local to /usr/libdata since the error arises from FreeBSD perl Wanting to scribble in /usr/local. > In any case, this is a problem with `Makefile.PL' in your > module, not FreeBSD. It's not my module, it's a commonly used module from CPAN. The problem does not happen with same version of Perl, same module (same Makefile.PL) when running on OpenBSD. This suggests, but does not prove, that it is a problem with the perl binary or supporting libs shipped with FreeBSD.
