so, perl modules have this nifty (well, sort of nifty. at least it
tries) install set up, where ideally you "perl Makefile.pl && make &&
make test && make install" and the right thing happens. perl generates
the makefile based on what perl thinks are the right values. athena's
install does not map well to private machines.
IMO perl should be including /usr/local/lib/perl5 in it's inc path,
and the values of "perl '-V:install.*'" should point there.
