[ID 20000129.001] MakeMaker: PREFIX= doesn't set INSTALLSITELIB

["Simon Cozens" <simon@othersideofthe.earth.li>]

This is a bug report for perl from simon@othersideofthe.earth.li,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.27 running under perl 5.00561.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

As noticed by a user on #perl earlier, the FAQ's advice of running

% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/plib

(or whatever) to set up a local modules directory fails on some modules
since the generated Makefile does not correctly prexify INSTALLSITELIB
and INSTALLSITEARCH

For example, from Net::Finger:

PREFIX = /tmp
INSTALLDIRS = site
INSTALLPRIVLIB = $(PREFIX)/lib/5.00561
INSTALLARCHLIB = $(PREFIX)/lib/5.00561/i686-linux
INSTALLSITELIB = /usr/local/lib/site_perl
INSTALLSITEARCH = /usr/local/lib/site_perl/5.00561/i686-linux
INSTALLBIN = $(PREFIX)/bin
