Subject: install does not obey DESTDIR or --prefix for perl modules
Message-ID: <20090921160551.GD8173@gryning.com>

Hi all

I'm compiling/installing git in a Solaris environment without root.
Using 'make DESTDIR=<some path> install' to stage an install to an
alternate location.
The perl module component of 'make DESTDIR=<some path> install' installs
into the system perl lib path without prepending the forced install
destination or my '--prefix'.
This seems counter intuitive and I would consider a bug.

Regards
CraigT
