A finer-grained method, supported by Perl 5.8.x and newer, is to use
the "DESTDIR" option when installing. You need to download and build
the modules by hand, beginning with the normal recipe - "perl
Makefile.PL; make; make test".
Why hand install modules when the Perl CPAN or CPANPLUS modules can
install to alternate locations for you?
That's not the same thing.
I'm not talking about configuring them to install in an alternate
location, I'm talking about copying the files somewhere other than
their installation location they were configured for.
It's not a technique that's unique to Mac OS X, or to Perl - it's
very widely used to make packages for Fink, DarwinPorts, Solaris, and
a variety of BSD & Linux distros. Google for "making packages DESTDIR".
