I've been wondering whether something was up in this area.  The "copy
EUMM" you are referring to was probably this:

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/b6d6132c1554383190492215dd1da143d1d564ef

which was just a few days before your latest update of
ExtUtils::Install.  You may or may not have noticed that Tru64 is
having trouble with the EU::Install tests:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.daily-build.reports/2009/07/msg71551.html

and on VMS I occasionally (but not consistently) get

    lib/ExtUtils/t/Installapi2....................................FAILED
at test 15
    lib/ExtUtils/t/Install........................................FAILED
at test 15

which I originally thought was your recent update of EU::Install but
am now more suspicious of the the test infrastructure shared with
EUMM.
