Re: Odd PPM4 behaviour

[OT] Bugzilla won't accept my bug report
Why does PPM install core modules such as ExtUtils::MakeMaker into
site/lib/ rather than lib/? This behaviour together with lib/ appearing
before site/lib in @INC results in not being able to upgrade such
modules using PPM, but rather you have to install them through CPAN
which I would think is a pain for a lot of people since you need a make
utility. Is the intended behaviour? If so, what is the rationale behind it?
I'm trying to install ExtUtils::MakeMaker > = 6.06 since it includes
fixes for when the command line length limit is exceeded in windows -
such as by large test suites in large modules. I'd like to make a ppd
for this when I've done, but this problem would make it useless.
Thanks
Nathan
p.s. please let me know if this is not the behaviour in a particular
version of PPM/ActivePerl as it must have slipped me by.
