	You have to set the environment var PERL5LIB=~/lib/perl before using.
Also, perl will tend to install things under things like site_perl/, which perl
won't check PERL5LIB for when including the modules. My solution to this has
been to create a bunch of symlinks, e.g.:

cd ~/lib/perl
ln -s . lib
ln -s . site_perl
ln -s . 5.00503
ln -s . sun4-solaris

	And make sure all modules are therefore installed directly into what
I've set as PREFIX.
	Presumably there is a simpler way to accomplish this, but I've been
too thickheaded to figure out what.
