I had the same problem. The solution looks a little bit strange, but it
worked for me:
In the file "installperl" you'll find in the 6th line:
    @INC = 'lib';
Just replace this by
    @INC = 'lib/./;

(I think it was only this file. If it occurs in another install-file, do
the same there, too.) But I haven't found out, what really goes wrong.
