I guess we'll just make installprefix 'perl_root' even though its 
distinction from prefix is meaningless on VMS.  

prefixexp is already defined.  I had to make it 'perl_root:' with a colon 
rather then just 'perl_root' because otherwise something in Installed.pm was 
turning it into a relative path instead of using it as an absolute path.

OK, there is a perl_root:[lib.site_perl] (from sitelib or installsitelib), 
so siteprefix should be perl_root:[lib] ?

installbin is currently just perl_root:[000000].  We should probably make 
sitebin the same as sitearch (sitearch='perl_root:[lib.site_perl.VMS_AXP]') 
for those rare installations where a VAX and an Alpha share an installation 
directory tree.

Zero-length string, not undef?
