On second thoughts, why not just arrange to replace @PERLLIBDIR@ with 
something more suitable, so a whole bunch of scripts don't need to be 
patched? I'm not sure what the build system is doing here, but a quick 
grep shows that etc/Makefile.in has this, for example.

        -e 's%@PERLLIBDIR@%$(libdir)/perl%' \
