I've changed the install* to /usr/ but it wouldn't be that difficult.
I'd also need to change the site directories but again that wouldn't be
difficult. The /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl is where perl currently wants
to put stuff. Shall I change that to /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl or
just /usr/local/lib/perl5?
