[sf-perl] local::lib

[Matthew Lanier]

if you look at the output from a local::lib install, it also sets some 
convenience variables that some might miss, such as MM and MB 
configuration.  yes, it's basically a wrapper around knowing how to set 
your PERL5LIB and other vars properly, which some can.
