Short answer: Yes, for most module installations you should just be
able to ignore INSTALLDIRS and PREFIX will DWYM. No more voodoo.
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=some/where/
Long answer: It won't change how INSTALLDIRS "works" [1], it will work
in the same way it was always intended to. Difference is now it will
not be horribly broken. :)
[1] Except for the addition of "vendor".
