Hey, guys, first, thanks for your good work on this o-so-important module.

I recently set up Perl for our group for 3 platforms (Linux 32-/64-bit and 
Solaris) and decided to use a single lib dir and break out the scripts and 
executables into platform-specific directories keyed on the output of `uname 
-p`.  So, I have:

~/our_perl/lib  # modules
~/our_perl/i686 # 32-bit exe's
~/our_perl/i86_64       # 64-bit exe's
~/our_perl/sparc        # Solaris exe's
~/our_perl/man  # Man pages

The problem I ran into was in my choice to use INSTALL_BASE.  Generally 
speaking, it works fine, but looking a bit deeper into the code, it appears 
that there are no overrides for specific sections like INSTALLBIN, 
INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLMAN1DIR, etc., so I reverted to using PREFIX, but I'd 
like to suggest that, if that's actually true, you mention that in the docs for 
INSTALL_BASE.  Some weird stuff happened when I added INSTALLBIN to the 
Makefile.PL command line.

Thanks again.

Eric
