Details

Because the PKGBUILDs of perl-extutils-depends and perl-extutils-pkgconfig (maintained by Arjan Timmerman) do not specify the INSTALLARCHLIB, INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH directories after "perl Makefile.PL" in the build() function, the modules are installed to
usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 instead of .../current

This caused me problems while building perl modules from AUR.

Please correct as follows:

build() {
cd $startdir/src/ExtUtils-Depends-$pkgver
# Force module installation to "current" perl directories.
/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL \
INSTALLARCHLIB=/usr/lib/perl5/current/${CARCH}-linux-thread-multi \
INSTALLSITELIB=/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current \
INSTALLSITEARCH=/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/${CARCH}-linux-thread-multi
/usr/bin/make || return 1
/usr/bin/make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
# remove perllocal.pod, .packlist, and empty dirs:
/usr/bin/find $startdir/pkg -name '.packlist' -exec rm '{}' \;
/usr/bin/find $startdir/pkg -name 'perllocal.pod' -exec rm '{}' \;
/usr/bin/find $startdir/pkg -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir '{}' \;
}

NB: The last three lines offers a general solution to removing perllocal.pod, .packlist, and empty dirs in the build process of ANY cpan module ;-)

A better method for detecting the ${CARCH}-linux-thread-multi thing:

eval `perl -V:archname`

which will set i686-thread-multi or whatever archname perl uses in the variable "archname".
