        Well, it's not sitelib but $Config{installsitearch} whis is used by
Prima. And some modules install their tools and/or examples under
$Config{installsitearch}.

        And this is cannot be done. Examples are not tools in any way and
installing them under /usr/local/bin as my perl suggest is a complete
violation of rules. 8)

        I personally would prefer /usr/local/share/examples or
/usr/local/share/Prima/examples, depending on a platform. But, again,
this is not something perl-supported.

        A better compromise might be leaving examples where they are, i.e. in
the source tree, as lots of packages do. But this is even worse from my
point of view.
