I'm actually discussing one of the PR's related to this now, and had a
thought.

Is it possible to specify an installation directory in the perl module
installation process? If so, then the bsd.port.mk mechanism needs to
be tweaked to use that to set things to LOCALBASE (well, PREFIX), and
the perl build should add $(LOCALBASE)/lib/5.6.0 to the search path
for modules.

	Thanx,
