in reply to Installing a Perl module to an embedded target with different Perl version

I believe you can specify the installation directory specifically through LIB instead of having it derived from PREFIX.

Note that your approach won't work for distros that have machine-specific or version-specific components, such as distros with XS components.

    Thanks for this. It works.

    Note that I had to specify both LIB and PREFIX to install libraries and scripts from the same package. E.g.:

    perl Makefile.PL LIB=/path/to/root/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 PREFIX=/path/to/root/usr/local
