This is a bug report for perl from italpro@qs1213.pair.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

When building Perl 5.10.0 under FreeBSD 6.2 (and I think more recent
versions) as well as a non-root (unprivilged user).

This happens because recent FreeBSD releases make /usr/home unreadable
by regular users, and for some reasons perl installation fails if it
cannon opendir() that directory - and it probably shouldn't fail.
I asked the superuser to make that directory readable to me and perl
built and installed regularly.

==> HOW TO REPRODUCE

- Login as unprivileged user
- Unpack the perl 5.10 distribution
# sh Configure -de -Dprefix=/your/local/directory
# make

==> ERROR (reporting the last part of "make" output)
