if you install a perl module in the standard way (make install)
on a RedHat system, you will end up with the modules installed in:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/

A standard Makfile.PL does not contain any information about
the target directories. This is always handled by perl itself.
