Hello.

I would like to install HTML documentation from CPAN. In MyConfig.pm, I have configured: 

'mbuildpl_arg' => q[--install_base /home/user/local --install_path bin
+doc=/home/user/local/share/man/man1 --install_path libdoc=/home/user/
+local/share/man/man3 --install_path binhtml=/home/user/local/share/do
+c/perl5 --install_path libhtml=/home/user/local/share/doc/perl5],
'makepl_arg' => q[INSTALL_BASE=/home/user/local INSTALLMAN1DIR=/home/u
+ser/local/share/man/man1 INSTALLMAN3DIR=/home/user/local/share/man/ma
+n3 INSTALLHTML1DIR=/home/user/local/share/doc/perl5 INSTALLHTML3DIR=/
+home/user/local/share/doc/perl5],

[download]

M::B based installers work fine and I get my HTML installed in the appropriate place. EU::MM however says the following during the process and I don't get any HTML; man pages are always installed correctly. 

'INSTALLHTML1DIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
'INSTALLHTML3DIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

I also tried with INST_HTML[13]DIR, but that didn't work, either.
