F.Y.I.
I don't know if this helps in tracking down the problem, but on Win32
perl Build.PL --prefix=F:/path/i/want
works fine and Alien::wxWidgets gets installed where I have specified.
However, I am not using Alien to build wxWidgets and in my
package Alien::wxWidgets::Config::msw_2_8_7_uni_mslu_gcc_3_4;
the config vars for include_path, link_libraries etc. all point to the standard
sitearch location, not the location where Alien::wxWidgets has actually been
installed.
I used to patch 'My::Build::Utility;' with an ugly none portable hack to fix
this ( the methods in question always return $Config{sitearchexp} )
The patch is attached as it is tested and does work if the env variable
'$ENV{WX_BUILDENV_LIB}' is set. A better approach using some other method of
setting $BUILDLIBPREFIX would solve this problem I think.

ok, so now I tried to install it manually:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/gabor/perl5lib LIB=/home/gabor/perl5lib/lib
which was then translated to
/usr/bin/perl Build.PL --prefix /home/gabor/perl5lib
--install_path lib=/home/gabor/perl5lib/lib
make
make test
make install
...

that is, it seems Alien::wxWidgets 0.35 cannot be installed in a
private directory.
It used to be possible, will check.
