Hi,
(I don't subscribe to this list, so please copy me in on replies)

Mac OS X 10.5.4, Git 1.5.6.2

I use FileVault for my home directory: my files are stored on an  
encrypted disk image which is mounted on my home (/Users/jonathon).  
When I run "sudo make install", perllocal.pod gets written to:

/Users/jonathon/System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/ 
perllocal.pod

under my home directory instead of at the root of the drive.  
Presumably this is because it's writing to /System at the root of the  
current mount, not at the rooty-root.

perl/perl.mak:9 reads:
#   MakeMaker ARGV: (q[PREFIX=/Users/jonathon])

which is later used to prefix /System. I don't have expertise in this  
area, so I'm hoping someone else can correct the error.


Thanks!
