Yep, you can actually set PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE upon the call to
`perl Makefile.PL' (for modules using ExtUtils::MakeMaker) or `perl
Build.PL' (for those using Module::Build.)

In fact, this is exactly what the local::lib[0] module does.  See its
documentation, particularly the bootstraping technique.  You can
install it straight without using the CPAN client.
