I assume you did this install as root. If not, you might drop me a line,
for it does make a difference on PREFIX.

The real way to solve this is with a "hints" directory, but I am not sure
I want to try and build one. My MV::Default{PREFIX} workarond works on
Solaris, but not here apparently. I cannot tell why...the only thing I 
can think is that PREFIX is set somewhere in Perl's Config.pm.

Thanks for the debugging on the BSD test problems, I implemented
(in essence) your fix.

Thanks,
