I may believe that some Perl modules use another args just say
INSTALLSITELIB or INSTALLPRIVLIB to control wherever they
install to, as I believe FreeBSD only pass PREFIX and ignore
the others, this make somewhat incomplete I think.
I have submitted a patch for bsd.port.mk, but seems no one
interesting to look at it.. :-)
ps. I also believe porters always assume it will work fine, since
they're using default /usr/local .
