I have a partial solution[0] but there is an obstacle. Here's the
Makefile.PL of the CPAN version of Switch-1.14:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
NAME => q[Switch],
VERSION_FROM => q[Switch.pm],
PREREQ_PM => { 'Filter::Util::Call' => 0, 'Text::Balanced' => 0 },
INSTALLDIRS => $] >= 5.00703 ? 'perl' : 'site',
);
For all modules that set INSTALLDIRS to 'perl' the installation simply
overwrites the already installed Switch.pm or even refrains from doing
it when the files are really identical. In such a case installing from
CPAN with MakeMAker does not resolve the situation.
Are you intending to demand that these distros be changed to always
specify "site"?
