Description:
The Perl module Git.pm is installed to /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Git.pm instead of /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/Git.pm and insodoing it replaces the symlink 5.8.8 -> current into a real directory containing a buggy symlink (after perl update): see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7530 for details. A solution is to call perl Makefile.PL (with the usual parameters for perl packages) after make: the attached PKGBUILD provides a fix, and also contains an improvement for deletion of *.pod and .packlist. Additional info: * package version(s) : 1.5.3.4-1

Additional note: In principle installing to 5.8.8 should not turn the symlink into a dir. This seems to have occurred with a previous version of pacman, and the issue seems to be fixed now (though the version in testing apparantly still has a problem): see discussion concerning
bug 7530. But it is nevertheless "bad packaging style" to install to 5.8.8 instead of current!
