MakeMaker supports three installation modes: perl, site, and vendor. The first
and third install manpages to $PREFIX/share/man, only site installs to
$PREFIX/man. For consistency with the rest of git, which does not make the
distinction and writes all manpages to $PREFIX/share/man, this change makes
sure that perl does too, even when it's installed in site mode.

Randal, I cannot decide if this is the right thing to do, or
better than what we currently do. Could you care to enlighten
us please?

I'll have to research it. On *every single* major release of Perl, and even
some of the minor ones, the rules for what Makefile.PL does have changed.
It's really maddening.

Sorry for keeping you waiting for quite a while. I've had a
chance to test building an RPM tonight, and this does not seem
to affect the output (the perl manpage is already installed in
/usr/share/man/man3), so I'd say this is probably safe to
apply.
For people who do private installs, the path is changed from
$prefix/man/man3/ to $prefix/share/man/man3 (where $prefix is
typically set to $HOME), but all the other manual pages are
installed in $prefix/share/man/man[1-7] anyway, so this change
cannot hurt.
