Description (last modified by )
When building Search::Xapian with CPANPLUS the script Makefile.PL overwrites the Makefile created by ExtUtils::MakeMaker with a stub Makefile as the variables $srcdir and $buildir are defined and identical. As a consequence the make command calls itself in an infinite loop. The attached patch replaces "if (defined $builddir)" with "if (defined $builddir && $builddir ne $srcdir)".
CPANPLUS executes Makefile.PL in the following way:
cd $srcdir
perl -e 'use strict; BEGIN { my $old = select STDERR; $|++; select $old; $|++; $0 = shift(@ARGV); my $rv = do($0); die $@ if $@; }' $srcdir/Makefile.PL

Fixed in [3769160f374cfffa3f4d860d14511dc8e6fe7dc5/git].
Your patch was appreciated, but I actually went for a slightly fancier fix which handles any explicit path to the current directory (not just one which is exactly the same as what pwd outputs), so cases such as this also work now:
perl ./Makefile.PL
I tested with the command you gave and it now works, but if my variant doesn't work with CPANPLUS for some reason, please let me know.
