This is a stupid software installer bug. There were lots more directories you could have scrolled down to. I always miss these when I am installing perl.
The easiest way to do what you want is start the install again, then use the disk space button to select a new drive. This will change the drive for ALL the directories PERL uses. The problem is that the install puts the drive letter in many different perl files.
