DESTDIR equivalent?

The problem is rather that not everything is put in /opt/MailScanner:
* A bunch of Perl modules are installed in
/usr/opt/perl58/lib/site_perl/5.8.9, and will have to be extricated
somehow. The easiest way is if a DESTDIR variable can be passed to `perl
Makefile.PL`, since all of them respect that. This doesn't work as
expected since there are dependencies between the modules, so they won't
build unless I install them both locally and with DESTDIR.
* /var/spool/MailScanner and subdirectories seem to be created by the
installation.

In the final installation everything will be put back to /, so that
shouldn't be a problem at runtime.

Cheers,
