in thread Installing a Perl module to an embedded target with different Perl version

Quoting from the original question node:

If I manually copy the files to one of the directories in @INC, it works fine, but I have many such modules to install, so would very much like to be able to run Makefile.PL and make install in my system build script to stick the modules into the right location, rather than hacking together my own install script or hacking @INC.

More specifically, the whole point of my question was to avoid having to hack together a reinvented "cp to mounted image" solution, but instead let Makefile.PL do the right thing (which I now know how to do).
