Description

perl library installation path should be configurable.

currently, when configuring with this command:

 
$ PY_PREFIX=/home/lyon/mimbert/local JAVA_PREFIX=/home/lyon/mimbert/local/lib ./configure --prefix=/home/lyon/mimbert/local

then when doing make install (without root privileges), i get the following error:

 
ERROR: Can't create '/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0'
mkdir /usr/local/share/perl: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.10/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 479

i think perl lib installation path should either be based on the --prefix given on command line, or on a new PERL_PREFIX environment variable similar to the already existing PY_PREFIX and JAVA_PREFIX.
