[PATCH] perlfaq8.pod and MakeMaker's PREFIX=

[ Reported by Alan J. Flavell on clp.modules ]

The answer for "How do I keep my own module/library directory?"
seems to be out-of-date:

    When you build modules, use the PREFIX option when generating
    Makefiles:

        perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/u/mydir/perl

    then either set the PERL5LIB environment variable before you
    run scripts that use the modules/libraries (see perlrun) or say

        use lib '/u/mydir/perl';

This puts my .pm files in

    /u/mydir/perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/$VERSION

So I've changed the answer to suggest "LIB=" instead.

(Better suggestions welcome.)
