Bug#586795: Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given. Not both.

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: liblocal-lib-perl
Version: 1.006004-1
Severity: minor
Justification: user error (i.e., documentation bug)

I use local::lib to locally install perl modules that have not yet
been packaged for Debian. Normally it works great, but today I ran
into trouble building git:

 $ make git-svn
     SUBDIR perl
 /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX='/home/jrn'
 Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given.  Not both.
 make[1]: *** [perl.mak] Error 255
 make: *** [perl/perl.mak] Error 2

I would have expected the PREFIX to take precedence or the
local::lib(3pm) manual page to give some guidance.

Ideas?
