Well, you can build stuff to live elsewhere by doing "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/where/else" at port configure time, but people have to make sure to set PERLINC to /some/where/else/lib for the system perl to look there. Also note that ExtUtils::MakeMaker is somewhat broken for the default install and somewhat more broken for the FreeBSD-style installation. This brokenness exposes itself more when you use features like PREFIX= or LIB= so you may be opening a can of worms. (Of course, someone should fix MakeMaker anyway, but...) Satoshi, what Mark really meant to say was "perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker" to learn more.
