Ok that seems to do the trick, the only thing I am worried about is during
the installation to the real directory some data is appended to
perllocal.pod. The documentation for MakeMaker say you can disable this
with pure_install, but I can't find anywhere that explains the use of
perllocal.pod.
A quick look at its contents show multiple copies of modules I have
installed locally (due to not uninstalling I imagine).
Does anyone know about the need for perllocal.pod ?
Thanks again,

One method is to install into a temporary directory hierarchy (ie
/tmp/modulename/usr instead of /usr).
