  Hi!

Dear diary, on Wed, Jul 26, 2006 at 04:25:13AM CEST, I got a letter
where Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> said that...

xpasky@machine[1:0]~/git-pb/perl$ perl Makefile.PL && make instlibdir
Writing Makefile for Git
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux
xpasky@machine[1:0]~/git-pb/perl$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/xpasky && make instlibdir
Writing Makefile for Git
/home/xpasky/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux

  But it wouldn't help anyway, you would need to install git "to
itself", which I'm not sure how well works.

  I think in previous discussions it was deemed acceptable to require
the user running Git in place to set PERL5LIB so that Git.pm is found.
