I really don't buy the "too hard" argument. They've either painted themselves into a corner or just not tried hard enough. Most good installers have a way to specify a root directory, and MakeMaker certainly does. It's a basic feature of an installer program.

Does anyone want to (anonymously) tell the truth? Was that a big design mistake that no one wants to fix?
