One minor complication of that is the strictest sense an "install location" isn't all that well defined. Or perhaps I should say every dist has 8 install locations with unspecified relationship on the filesystem (lib, arch, bin, script, libdoc, bindoc, libhtml, binhtml). In practice you may want to use lib *and* arch (they are never used simultaneously, but stuff in lib may be shared over different perl installations, contrary to arch which should be for one specific install).
