	Perl under Redhat is broken: it wants to put locally-installed
modules in /usr, instead of /usr/local . This violates a hidden
assumption in the ColdSync Makefiles: that the Perl stuff goes in a
subdirectory of ${PREFIX}.
	The workaround is to build ColdSync without the Perl stuff,
then install the Perl modules separately:

		./configure --without-perl
		make
		make install
		cd perl/ColdSync
		perl Makefile.PL
		make
		make install
