Zvi, You don't say which user you're running as. Typically, /usr/local is owned by root, so if your permissions as a non-root user for the /usr/local tree don't allow write access, or you're not installing as root, that could be a reason why it's failing.
The perl getting installed into /usr/local/lib64/perl5 is likely some inherited value from the perl5 install. There may be a configure option for net-snmp, but I don't have a build box handy to look at it.
