use Perl

I've been going absolutely nuts trying to debug a CPAN script we use at work. In order to make sure that we have complete control over our dependencies, we bundle them with our application. We do this with a setup_cpan shell script. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite do what we want and many hours of struggle has gotten me closer, but not quite there. To test it, I have a shell script which forces an install of YAML:

#!/usr/bin/bash

# setup cpan
./script/setup_cpan.sh

# force install YAML
perl -I/home/ovid/work/trunk/deps/perl5lib/ /opt/bin/cpan -fi YAML

# remove YAML
builtin cd deps
svn status | grep '^?' | sed -e 's/^?//' | xargs rm -fr
for file in `svn status | grep '^M' | sed -e 's/^M//'`; do
    svn revert $file
done

I've bound that to a key in vim which allows me to constantly tweak our setup_cpan script and rerun the configuration. The closest I can get is to set INSTALLDIRS to site, but that gives me this error:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ERROR: Can't create '/opt/lib/perl/site_perl/auto/YAML'
Do not have write permissions on '/opt/lib/perl/site_perl/auto/YAML'
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

&ExtUtils::Install::install gets the following first argument:

$VAR1 = {
          'blib/arch' => '/opt/lib/perl/site_perl',
          'blib/lib' => '/home/ovid/work/trunk/deps/perl5lib',
          'blib/man3' => '/home/ovid/work/trunk/deps/perl5lib/man/man3',
          'read' => '/opt/lib/perl/site_perl/auto/YAML/.packlist',
          'blib/script' => '/home/ovid/work/trunk/deps/perl5lib/bin',
          'blib/man1' => '/home/ovid/work/trunk/deps/perl5lib/man/man1',
          'write' => '/opt/lib/perl/site_perl/auto/YAML/.packlist',
          'blib/bin' => '/home/ovid/work/trunk/deps/perl5lib/bin'
        };

As you can see, the read and write keys are wrong, but after trolling through make files, adding a 'dump' target, reading through ExtUtils::MakeMaker, I'll be damned if I can figure out how to set those correctly. Once I finally figure this out, then I'll have to turn my attention to Module::Build. Oh, now that I look, I see that the man/ and bin/ directories are wrong, too. Sigh.

What we want is the following:

$ROOT/deps/man/man1/
$ROOT/deps/man/man3/
$ROOT/deps/bin/
$ROOT/deps/perl5lib /

This shouldn't be hard, but it is :( Oh, and I guess that doesn't account for architecture dependent files.
