So I'm attempting to install some modules into a local directory at the command prompt on solaris using perlgcc. I've done the following: 

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl_mods/;
make;
make test;
make install;

[download]
for multiple modules and it's worked fine. I've installed XML::Lib::Common and can see it at: 

~/perl_mods/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int/XML/LibXML/Common.p
+m

[download]


When I attempt to install a module (XML::LibXML) that depends on that module though i get the following: 
bash-3.00$ /usr/perl5/bin/perlgcc Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl_mods
enable native perl UTF8
running xml2-config...ok (2.6.23)
looking for -lxml2... yes
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite XML::LibXML::Common 0.13 not found.

So while the module is installed, it's not visible, i've tried setting  PERL5LIB=/home/me/perl_mods/ and PERL5LIB=/home/me/perl_mods/lib/ both no avail.

Anyone know why at install time it can't seem to find these modules?
