I am faced with the following tricky situation:

I have to install perl on a different machine than I compile it on.
Now, I can do this for Perl itself (using config.over) BUT when I try and
do this for modules, I have trouble.  I would like to install the modules
in this local copy of Perl, but a lot of the path names seem to be hardwired
to the ultimate location of Perl (which is where it isn't yet)

Now it seems to me that this should be a Solved Problem, but I haven't come
across a solution yet.

Any ideas?

     How do I keep my own module/library directory?

     When you build modules, use the PREFIX option when
     generating Makefiles:

         perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/u/mydir/perl
