Dear Monks,

this time I need really your help.I'm not total newbie to perl, but I would not call me an expert.
I'm new on my actual workplace and want to install my favorite non-standard Perl-modules.

But the problem is the following:

When I install a module it is put in /usr/local/.. directory,
but I would prefer an installation to /usr/freeware/.. because of some intern network specs

My @INC:

/usr/freeware/lib/perl5/5.6.1/irix-n32
/usr/freeware/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/irix-n32
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/freeware/lib/perl5/sgi_perl/5.6.1/irix-n32
/usr/freeware/lib/perl5/sgi_perl/5.6.1
/usr/freeware/lib/perl5/sgi_perl

I already tried to for perl (/usr/freeware/bin/perl) using PREFIX when doing perl Makefile.PL
but the module was installed in the /usr/local/lib/perl5/ .. dir.
I know that the default include path is built into the Perl executable when Perl is compiled.
But I block on the fact that I do not know where I can specify or force the installation to /usr/freeware dirs?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help,

Lulu
