The Configure script will determine a $prefix for the installation of perl
on any unix platform. Configure has a fondness for /usr/local as its
prefix and that would usually be the default on OS/390, although I have
never test-built perl on an OS/390 LPAR that did not have a directory
structure in place in /usr/local so perhaps it could come out
differently. If you would like to override that choice then you could
specify your own prefix like so:
sh Configure -Dprefix=/usr/lpp/perl -des
if you wanted the perl binary to go into /usr/lpp/perl/bin/perl for
example.

Perhaps the most important document for perl-mvs is the README.os390
file that ships with the perl tar kit.
There is also a small document in the question and answer format at:
http://www.best.com/~pvhp/os390/doc/perlebcdicFAQ.html
but it could probably use some work.
