Ok, so I changed the variables to the below:

  %ENV:
    PERL5LIB="/usr/local/lib64/perl5"
    PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT=":/root/perl5"
    PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base /root/perl5"
    PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=/root/perl5"
  @INC:
    /usr/local/lib64/perl5
    /usr/local/lib64/perl5
    /usr/local/share/perl5
    /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
    /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
    /usr/lib64/perl5
    /usr/share/perl5
[download]

Next, compiled again and they still installed to:

/usr/local/lib64/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi

We are a decent sized company but this is our only server with perl in use hence my lack of understanding on this wizardry lol.

EDIT

When running the below the odd path persists:

EDIT 2 - I think this is happening because the Makefile.PL is improperly choosing my distro! If I look at the Makefile created after running perl Makefile.PL The below shows where it will install the module based on base OS

PREFIX = $(INSTALL_BASE)
INSTALLPRIVLIB = $(INSTALL_BASE)/lib/perl5
DESTINSTALLPRIVLIB = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLPRIVLIB)
INSTALLSITELIB = $(INSTALL_BASE)/lib/perl5
DESTINSTALLSITELIB = $(DESTDIR)$(INSTALLSITELIB)

FINAL edit

I think I did something ugly and unspeakable but it worked... I copied the lines that had the correct path from the above Makefile into my desired Makefile. May god have mercy on my soul.
