This is due to PREFIX bugs in all versions of MakeMaker prior to 6.XX, which encompases perl from 5.6.1 back. 5.8.0 contains a fixed version of MakeMaker and it's also available on CPAN as a stand-alone module. If upgrading MakeMaker isn't possible, you should be able to work around the bugs by supplying LIB and possibly INSTALLMAN3DIR or maybe setting INSTALLDIRS=site. There's all sorts of voodoo to get around it. -- Michael G.
