INSTALLMAN3DIR. Also you have to set it 'none'. You also want to set
INSTALLMAN1DIR in case it has any programs.
I'll put that in the FAQ, thanks.

Might have worked in the past by coincidence. Won't work anymore since we
check the argument a bit more closely now.
I can't think of a way to supress POD installation. MAN3PODS='' won't
work since MM will consider it to be not set (a consequence of all those
$self->{FOO} ||= 'default') and it'll only accept a real hashref.
However, since *.pod makes up a very small portion of CPAN installations
(my install has 1 meg of *.pod, 14 megs of *.pm) its really not worth a
FAQ entry.

Install one somewhere, like /tmp. I do this alot when testing out
new versions of MakeMaker.
perl Makfile.PL PREFIX=/tmp LIB=/tmp/lib/perl
make test
make install
Then set your PERL5LIB to /tmp/lib/perl and test the other module.
