While this is true, a symbolic link does fix it if you can replace the 
perl that's there.  It just seems to me conceptually that you have an 
install script that allows you to tell it where your perl lives, that 
script should make the nescessary corrections to the perl scripts in the 
  distribution so that they point to the location you give it.
