perldoc path in debian

[dircha <dircha@dircha.com>]

I'm running perl out of unstable. Via CPAN I've installed several perl 
modules rooted in ~/perl instead of /usr.

$ perldoc LWP::Simple
properly locates the documentation in 
/usr/share/man/man3/LWP::Simple.3pm.gz.

The documentation for, for example, the Java::JVM::Classfile module 
installed to /home/dircha/perl/man/man3/Java::JVM::Classfile.3pm

However,
$ perldoc Java::JVM::Classfile
does not locate it.

I can access it with 'perldoc -F' by specifying the full path, but that 
is less than desirable.

Is there an environment variable similar to MANPATH that I should be 
setting for perldoc, or is there perhaps a configuration file where I 
can set this option?

Appending /home/dircha/perl/man to PERL5LIB or PERLDOC does not seem to 
solve the problem.

Thanks,

dircha
