When an admin installs git site-wide, e.g. to /usr/local, perl's makemaker
decides to use 'site' mode (as opposed to distro or user mode). For whatever
reason, it then installs all perl-related manpages (those in section 3) to
.../man, while the rest of git happily installs manpages to .../share/man.
In as such, this is different from the patch proposed in this thread:
http://marc.info/?t=117862141100003&r=1&w=2
My patch should only ever affect site installs and does not cause
installations to $HOME to go to $HOME/share/...

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.

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.
