perl installation directory changed

I installed a perl module which I do all the time and the perl script failed because it couldn't find the module. I noticed it installed it in

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/sun4-solaris/auto

instead of the paths in @INC. What determines why it would be installed there? It is DBIx::DBD. I also see that there is a DBIx/DWID directory but there is nothing but an empty .packlist file even though the install said it was successful.

How can I get that program installed in the correct location or see if it is even a functioning module? I tried in stalling it with MCPAN and a manual compile.

Thanks

Checking if your kit is complete...

I found a post that said the installation of DBIx::DWIW version .49 is broken. I ran the install of .48 and it installed the module.

Installing /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/DBIx/DWIW.pm

The perl script that had previously failed worked.

Thanks
