It's not entirely clear exactly *what* your build bug is.
The only issue that I can find with a local installation of Digest::MD5
is that the maintainer sets INSTALLDIRS to "perl" in the Makefile.PL for
5.8.0+, meaning that "make install" will attempt to install under
/usr/{share,lib}/perl .
make install INSTALLDIRS=site
works fine.
