First, (as user dthroop) run: perl '-V:install.*' to see what's happen with installdir. It all seems right check that /home/dthroop/lib/perl/man is not a link, and that man3 exists and is not a link

Second: Try a manual installation, download the package and run 

 perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/home/dthroop LIB=/home/dthroop/lib/per
+l 
 INSTALLMAN1DIR=/home/dthroop/lib/perl/man/man1 INSTALLMAN3DIR=/home/d
+throop/lib/perl/man/man3 INSTALLSCRIPT =/home/dthroop/lib/perl/bin IN
+STALLBIN =/home/dthroop/lib/perl/bin

[download]
(or something like this pointing to the desired directory)

third, and probably not related, just asking... Is this correct for you? Do you want to install bin and script in the same directory?

  INSTALLSCRIPT =/home/dthroop/lib/perl/bin
