for perl, there's a 'vendor' directory (where we install stuff) and a 'site'
directory (where anything goes). If an end-user installs his/her own perl
modules, they end up in the site directory (which is in $prefix).
Of course, things could be much better for perl than the way we're doing things
now, so maybe it's not the best example...
