I'm using the Ubuntu package, which is version 0.26-1. I'll give it a
go with the latest from CPAN.
The problem with the 0.26 version is that I get an error message denying
all knowledge of the PREFIX command line argument from Module::Build; one
is meant to use install_base and installdirs={site,core,vendor} instead.
Which is understandable, really, just a pain in the ass; because
if I'm building a tree of modules through the CPAN shell, the ones
with Module::Build need different makepl_arg values from "normal"
Extutils::MakeMaker ones.
