There are locations outside of your home dir where one can find 'his' files on any *nix-like OS. /var, /tmp among them.
I tried installing Ddt on my MacBook but things went broken with License::Software module. Yet, anyway, carefully looking into your output I see that things are broken at Ddt testing stage. This pretty much excludes zef as a cause of the problem. So, the best thing to do first, as I already suggested, is to report to the module author. Next thing you could do is to force install the module without testing with --/test zef command line option.
