when you install modules you need to either put them someplace where perl
can see them by default, or tell perl where to find them.

if you installed mod_perl into your home directory then you need to tell
perl about it if you want Makefile.PL to be able to find it.  something like

$ PERL5LIB=~/perl/lib perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl
