The vendor prefix is only enabled when you build Perl with
PERL_VENDOR_PREFIX defined.

The vendor prefix is supposed to be used by vendors to put their stuff
there, so that it does not conflict with the Perl distribution or the
regular Perl modules.

ZM should be a good boy and install its stuff in site, like eveyrbody else.
(It could also like some bad boys install its stuff wherever it wants too,
like in a hierarchy it handles itself, but it's not really a good idea.)
