for me (Solaris 5.9, perl 5.6.1) it's working with this new/old
Makefile.PL as usual with older releases.

Anyway, I think now it's time to rethink the possibility to have
parallel radiator installations simultan for easy upgrade.
(For a lot of us, radiusd is a mission critical application,
upgrades are always a pain if you get running installations
overwritten)

Why do you use the following in your scripts:

# Make sure we get the local libs for preference
BEGIN
{
    unshift(@INC, '.');
    # You will probably have to uncomment the next line if you want to 
    # run this script SUID
    #$ENV{PATH} = '/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin';
}

this helps nothing if you use PREFIX=/new/version/test.

unshift(@INC, '.') is normally wrong. This '.' in @INC is
the CWD of the running process not the installdir of the script.

I think you should do this similar like:

use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib/site_perl";

then your PREFIX get's automagically proper handelt.

Perhaps I'm wrong, so please enligth me.

Best regards and thanks again and again and ... for this
wonderful fast and competent support!

	Charly
