make install Sandbox.pm path issues

[Ronald Bradford]

Attempting to run installed Sandbox 3.0.04 for installation with local user produces the following error.

make_sandbox
Can't locate MySQL/Sandbox.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.8.8 /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 .) at /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/bin/make_sandbox line 27.

echo $PERL5LIB
/Users/rbradfor/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8

A look does not find any Sandbox.pm under this directory

$ du $PERL5LIB
8 /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/MySQL/Sandbox
8 /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/MySQL
8 /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto
8 /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level
8 /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8

It is actually located one directory higher.

$ find . -name Sandbox.pm
./MySQL-Sandbox-3.0.04/blib/lib/MySQL/Sandbox.pm
./MySQL-Sandbox-3.0.04/lib/MySQL/Sandbox.pm
./usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/MySQL/Sandbox.pm

Reseting PERL5LIB accordingly gives expected results

export PERL5LIB=~/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/
make_sandbox
syntax /Users/rbradfor/usr/local/bin/make_sandbox {VERSION|tarball_full_name} [options]

The problem could be a documentation issue, however I'm curious of the empty directories under the darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto directory?

Thanks for reporting. This is a documentation issue. The docs must make clear that the path for PERL5LIB can be different, depending on your operating system and Perl version.
