This might be fixed in the latest Module::Build betas/CVS.  It should 
be using $Config{installsitelib} and the like, but in older versions it 
uses $Config{sitelib} and the like.  The former should have the path 
already expanded.

You can self-patch in the install_map() method if you'd like to fix 
your current version.  Let me know if it doesn't work.
