cross-compiling perl 5.8.7

[jm]

Is there some information on cross-compiling perl floating about? I've 
managed to install perl itself, by using -Dinstallprefix but how do I 
handle perl modules? For example, first on the list is MD5 1.7. Using 
the standard perl Makefile.PL, make will install locally while 
<path-to-xcompile>/perl Makefile.PL makes no sense.
