CheckLib (included in XML::Parser) fails when building on NFS on my
FreeBSD system (See: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?
pr=ports/155991)
The problem is that it tries to use File::Temp::tempfile() to create a
file within the source directory, which may cause problems.
A patch which solves the issue is attached ... I'm not familiar with
Perl, and couldn't find a "get_tmp_dir()"-like function with a quick
search, but you should get the idea ;)
I also reported this at Devel::CheckLib:

I am happy to update XML::Parser's inc paths when upstream (Devel::CheckLib) fixes their
problem. I'm very disinclined to mess with anything in inc by patching it directly, since the way
that tree is generated is mostly automated.
If you will ping this ticket when they update, I will be happy to do the legwork on the update and
release. Thank you for reporting it.
