Sorry. I tried the following.

Works fine:

    perl Build.PL --install_base ~/test
    ./Build
    ./Build install

Works, but doesn't correctly replace the paths with my hacky
solution. Exactly the problem you mentioned below.

    perl Build.PL
    ./Build
    ./Build install --install_base ~/test

Doesn't work:

    perl Build.PL
    ./Build --install_base ~/test
    ./Build install

I thought ./Build --install_base ~/test would store the path
somewhere.

That would be perfect.

Good point. But how can I handle the problem? Is there no
solution which works in all cases?

Ok.
