perl: install libraries to sensible location
Perl's configure script, attempting to be helpful, uses shorter installation prefixes if it detects the top-level prefix argument contains the word "Perl" in it. Sadly, this doesn't really work for Homebrew because whilst the installation is actually within the Cellar containing the word "Perl" everything is symlinked into `/usr/local` (Presuming that's where your Homebrew is), which means instead of Perl being available in i.e. `/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.24.0` the libraries get symlinked into `/usr/local/lib/5.24.0` which is completely opaque to end-users and opens up the risk of conflict with anything else which behaves in the same way. This tweak shoves it back into the expected sort of installation structure.
