[does it all again just to make sure]

Like this ...

  $ rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
  $ sh Configure -Dprefix=/home/david/cpantesting/perl-5.6.2 -de
  $ make
  $ make test
  $ make install

It jolly well shouldn't be:

  $ env|grep PERL
  [rien. nadda. nowt]

but no, it definitely can't find MakeMaker.pm:

  Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl

despite this:

  $ find /home/david/cpantesting/perl-5.6.2 -name MakeMaker.pm -print
  /home/david/cpantesting/perl-5.6.2/lib/5.6.2/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
