I would suggest at least keeping it as a subdir *within* the existing 
_Inline or ~/.Inline directory.

But in general I'm inclined to treat those as temporary directories, so 
simply removing the existing build files based on the contents of e.g. 
a _Inline/perl_ver file would be a fine solution.  Those who wish to 
avoid the rebuild penalty can run the install on their various perls or 
whatever.  (Making installation easier for scripts might be a related 
issue.)
