Does it work if you make the directory executable (mode 755) as it
should be?

Probably just a permission problem, see above.

Ouch.

Well, there is a new feature in perl-5.8.1 similar to autotools
DESTDIR, but it wasn't available with perl 5.8.0, since there are many
hardcoded paths it is really a mess to install in a separate
directory, you need to fix it all up and make a tarball then.

II never saw problems like this and I have not more than two or three
tests failing (usually), so I suggest that something must be the
cuplprit, but not Perl.
