I appologize for being so cryptic. It is obvoius there was not enoug information in my post. so allow my to start from he top. my Makefile.PL looks like this : 
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;


WriteMakefile(
    NAME        => 'LC::Mod',
    VERSION_FROM    => 'src/lib/LC/Mod.pm',
    dist        => { 'COMPRESS' => 'gzip' },
    PREREQ_PM => {
        # Require Getopt::Long at least 2.42
        "Getopt::Long" => '2.42',
        # Require any version of File::Slurp
        "File::Slurp" => 0,
    }
);

if my source tree looks like the first case illustrated in the first figure above, when I execute :
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
sudo make install
everything is installed properly into my 
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2/auto/LC/Mod/...

directory. but if i set my source tree as in the second figure instalation does not copy my *.pm files into its required folder thus when i execute my application which uses this module i get a classic 
Can't locate LC/Mod.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/li
+b/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/

also if i do the smylinks i run into the same problem. What am I missing??
