I've overcome part of the problem on my own, but there's still some things that make me uneasy.

I figured out that the invalid pathname involved my system not having the dirs it exepected for man pages. I updated my Makefile.PL file to look like this: 

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.
WriteMakefile(
    NAME         => 'Lib::Simple',
    VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Lib/Simple.pm', # finds $VERSION
    AUTHOR       => 'Doug Gorley (douggorley@shaw.ca)',
    ABSTRACT     => 'A module for managing simple libraries.',
    INSTALLSITEMAN1DIR => 'none',
    INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR => 'none'
);

Once this was done, I could install the module correctly. However, a few things are bugging me:

Additional Note (2002-09-09): I'm using Perl 5.8.0 on Red Hat Linux 7.3, with ExtUtils::ModuleMaker 0.204 and ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.05.
