All you need to do is specify both a LIB and a PREFIX args to Makefile.PL and your binaries will be installed where you order.

This is the classic "Hello World!" (in C XS) installed completely into /tmp so that all you need to do is use lib '/tmp' and it will just work.... 


C:\Local>perl Makefile.PL LIB=/tmp PREFIX=/tmp
