In your Makefile.PL you'll probably want to use
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt() to ask the user where they want the CGIs
installed. A CGI_DIR argument to Makefile.PL (accessable via
$mm->{CGI_DIR}) might also work. Both should probably be used with the
prompt() only happening if there's no CGI_DIR specified.
After that, stick in an install :: target like discussed later in the
thread.
