the answer is to set a few basic variables when you
are doing the
perl Makefile.pl
I have a script I use, see below so that I have it all
nice and neatly set to put it in
$HOME/lib/perl
with the man pages installing in
$HOME/man
rather than having to remember that it would be
perl Makefile.pl PREFIX=$HOME LIB=$HOME/lib/perl ....
