Perhaps the hints/darwin.sh ought to adopt the "allow user overrides"
philosophy that most of Configure and many other hints files emply.
Try something along the lines of:
case "$sitelib" in
'') sitelib='/Library/Perl' ;;
esac
thereby allowing:
sh Configure -Dsitelib=/my/other/path
Configure-ations. Note that not all hints files have used this strategy
until quite recently.
