Consider what it would look like if <install_base> were set to /usr,
Perl modules mixed in with thousands of shared libraries.
The only reason we don't put man pages into man/perl5 is it would
require setting a new MANPATH. Since Perl has a unique lib path environment
variable we can separate our libraries from everybody else's and do a litte
bit of organization.
