Error "Stack level too deep" on Exec of 'perl Makefile.PL'

Reported by: Thijs Assigned to: luke

Description

A define downloads a tar.gz file, extracts it, substitutes a custom Makefile.PL into the extract dir and tries to do a 'perl Makefile.PL', which seems to hang. On a ctrl-c I get a "stack level too deep" error. The code where it hangs looks like this: 

   exec { "makefile-$name":
       command => "cd $( ls -A -d $name*/ ) && perl Makefile.PL",
       path    => "/usr/bin:/bin",
       cwd     => $dest,
       require => [ package[ "perl" ], exec[ "untar-$name" ] ]
   }

Full code for the define attached.
