Your information is out of date. This no longer happens for new  
modules. If it does then complain at that module author to upgrade his  
dist. Or at Alias to make Module::Install fucking well self update.

Also File::ShareDir doesn't rely on Module::Install at all -  
Module::Install just gives you an way to install the files in the  
'right' place. Module::Build can easily do it to. Since everyone is lazy
