The problem with the current answer isn't that it suggests building with PREFIX -- which might be a reasonable suggestion -- but that it gives a broken example of how PREFIX and 'use lib' fit together. Same problem is in perlmodinstall, actually. They both use the same path for PREFIX and 'use lib'. -- Steve
