Is this a M::B issue or a security issue? I'm not that familiar with 
M::B's install code, so I honestly don't know what should happen here. I 
install software as root when on *nix so there is no problem. What does 
MakeMaker do? Can you install as root? Hopefully Ken will be back soon... ;)

M::B issue ---

when you type perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$PREFIX, you can install wherever 
$PREFIX is set to, as long as you have write permissions. I have done so 
with MakeMaker-style makefiles plenty of times on this Linux machine. 
But no dice with M::B.

no, this is at www.perlmonk.org --- the perlmonks user site.

I think the first patch I'll make for this issue is below.  It's too
confusing for the Makefile.PL to accept a PREFIX parameter but not  
respect it.
This will just make it die when it encounters PREFIX.
