in reply to Module::Build- Overriding default $Config{installprefix}

Doesn't this work with something like perl Build.PL install_base=/home/anon ?

    No, setting install_path did not change the path for etc directory; see the OP, namely PERL_MB_OPT assignment & result of grep ... _build.

    I had not tried doing the manual installation for the offending module, for I need to install that thing in an automated way (as it is only one of many dependencies of App::SourcePlot).

      Maybe sudo is your friend? This can be adjusted quite finely. Best would be - as already mentioned above - your own Perl.
