Slight problem with Makemaker

I'm using the Makemaker that comes with perl5.001n.

While trying to build Sx, I've noticed that Makemaker/Sx does not handle
correctly some installations of perl---the one where I decided NOT to
install the manpages (we've got a dual Solaris/SunOS network with shared
disks, so installing the manpages TWICE didn't seem a good idea).
The Makefile tried to install the manpages in /
:-)

Could you please post the output of `grep 'man[13]' config.sh`? It
certainly _looks_ like MakeMaker should be shutting itself off in that
case, so perhaps something Configure is stepping on it somehow...

Oh, oh, oh, sorry!

Found the problem, fixed it.

Thanks for the report!
