Monks,

I'm trying to add a few perl modules to a non-standard directory under Solaris 8, something like /notusrperl5/lib/. I've got gcc working with 5.00503 so there's one headache out of the way, but when I: 

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/notusrperl5/lib
/usr/ccs/bin/make
/usr/ccs/bin/make test
/usr/ccs/bin/make install

[download]
the files just install into /usr/perl5/... completely ignoring my 'PREFIX' arg. Has anyone else encountered this? Am I missing something simple, like a known Makemaker problem? Am I resigned to copying the modules and associated libraries manually after the install given my system limitations?
