  /some/weird/location which is definitely not the location on the end
  user's box. The default is the value of the macro FULLPERL which should
  be the path to the perl processing Makefile.PL.

  Sample:
    Building with some weird perl:
    	/local/buildsys/perl-5.6.1/bin/perl Makefile.PL PERL_BIN=/usr/bin/perl


Obsolete Variables
------------------

The following list shows variables recognized by the old build system and
their new counterparts (no, the ones in the end aren't in the wrong order,
it actually was that complicated):

old: PREFIX=/bar/foo INST_PREFIX=/foo
new: PREFIX=/foo     DESTDIR=/bar

old: INST_SITELIB=/foo
new: LIB=/foo

old: SYSCONFDIR=/bar/foo INST_SYSCONFDIR=/foo
new: SYSCONFDIR=/foo     DESTDIR=/bar

old: LOCAL_RULES_DIR=/foo PKG_LOCAL_RULES_DIR=/bar/foo
new: LOCALRULESDIR=/foo   DESTDIR=/bar

old: DEF_RULES_DIR=/foo   PKG_DEF_RULES_DIR=/bar/foo
new: DEFRULESDIR=/foo     DESTDIR=/bar

Using one of the following variables will make the Makefile generation
process die:
  INST_PREFIX
  INST_SITELIB
  INST_SYSCONFDIR
  LOCAL_RULES_DIR
  DEF_RULES_DIR

If you think you need to use one of those nevertheless, you can set the
variable IGNORE_CRUFT to "yes".
