I would have argued that an easier way to address this is
for affected users to appropriately customize the initial
"perl Makefile.PL" command. In the past, I've used things like:
#!/bin/sh
prefix=/afs/sipb/contrib/perl
exec_prefix="$prefix"/arch/"$ATHENA_SYS"
perl Makefile.PL \
INSTALLPRIVLIB="$prefix"/arch/share/perl5.004 \
INSTALLSITELIB="$prefix"/arch/share/perl5.004/site_perl \
INSTALLARCHLIB="$exec_prefix"/lib/perl5.004 \
INSTALLSITEARCH="$exec_prefix"/lib/perl5.004/site_perl \
INSTALLBIN="$exec_prefix"/bin \
INSTALLSCRIPT="$prefix"/arch/share/bin \
INSTALLMAN1DIR="$prefix"/man/man1 \
INSTALLMAN3DIR="$prefix"/man/man3
(The "make"s will work fine if the call to perl is properly done.)
