I think you shouldn't set DESTDIR to the $installdir. If DESTDIR is
set, it joins $DESTDIR and $install_dir(-Dprefix). So, when you run

local $ENV{DESTDIR} = $installdir;
run_log("meson compile -C $pgsql install-test-files");

it installs these files to the '$install_dir/$install_dir'.

Could you try only running 'run_log("meson compile -C $pgsql
install-test-files");' without setting DESTDIR, this could work.
