Heh.  I remember beating my head to a bruise against this one :-)

You're going to run the perl file Makefile.PL and so you need to pass it
arguments.  Of course, arguments aren't in the form of --... but instead
simply

  perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/local

and away you go :-)  I forget what other options you can specify --
though I know from !#^#^%%% experience that you can't specify any of the
esoteric VENDORARCHLIB-type dirs -- but it's the same format and you just
string 'em along the command line.
