Here is the log from a recent run of a module installation
using perl 5.9.0 (the kit was perl@17882) on 386 freebsd:

Files=6, Tests=28,  1 wallclock secs ( 0.43 cusr +  0.11 csys =  0.54 CPU)

perllocal.pod -print
/tmp/pvhp/pinst17882/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.0/i386-freebsd/perllocal.pod

Note that 'make install' reported that it was appending the
installation information to:

 /tmp/pvhp/pinst17882/lib/perl5/5.9.0/i386-freebsd/perllocal.pod

whereas the find utility only found a perllocal.pod file on the path:

 /tmp/pvhp/pinst17882/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.0/i386-freebsd/perllocal.pod

that is with a 'site_perl/' inserted into the path compared to the one
MakeMaker thought
that it would append to.

That is my report of the problem.  I am sorry to say that I have not
had time to try to fix it yet.
