- create a link /export to your mandrake mirror 
(or modify ROOTDEST in gi/perl-install/Makefile.config)

- then 
% make install_pms     # in gi/perl-install

it will copy the *.pm in /export/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install 
(with a few modifications, so copy by hand, see Makefile:install_pms for more)

and this is it if:
- you modify only .pm's
- you install using hd or nfs
- you mirror on a partition handling symlinks (eg: not a fat partition)

weird, do you have?

/export/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/auto/Newt/Newt.so

and

/export/Mandrake/mdkinst/lib/libnewt.so.0.50
/export/Mandrake/mdkinst/lib/libslang.so.1
