No good reaon, just lack of Makefile.PL knowledge/entusiasm :)

Makefile.perl is generated from Makefile.PL
using this command (in Makefile.am rule):

Makefile.perl: Makefile.PL
        srcdir=$(srcdir) builddir=$(abs_builddir) $(PERL) $< MAKEFILE=Makefile.perl

There's no explicit setting for install dir in Makefile.PL, I belive it all comes
from $(PERL) itself ...

perl guys ?
