Hi, there!

I tried to install the latest ExtUtils::MakeMaker-6.21 (in Linux) to
install to another PREFIX.  An older version lies under /usr/lib.  I do
not have root provilegues.  Unfortunately installing this does not work:
I /think/ that because MakeMaker sets INSTALL_DIRS=perl in its 
Makefile.PL that it can't be overriden by PREFIX. You could probably 
edit the Makefile.PL to change this, but I don't think it's a good idea. 
A much better idea is to communicate with your administrator to see if 
it can be upgraded site-wide; your administrator may have a good reason 
for not upgrading, so be willing to listen.
