    pass DESTDIR to the generated perl/Makefile
    
    Makes life for binary packagers easier, as the Perl modules will
    be installed inside DESTDIR.

Eric, care to comment?

I used to make a statically linked binary package for working on an
ancient box that didn't have a lot of libraries I wanted, and I probably
just called `make install' into DESTDIR as a single step without calling
`make' alone without DESTDIR argument, or I had DESTDIR set in
config.mak
