On my system I have:

$ perl -V | fmt 1 | grep -i man
    -Dman1ext=1
    -Dman1dir=/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/man/man1
    -Dsiteman1dir=/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man1
    -Dvendorman1dir=/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/man/man1
    -Dman3ext=3
    -Dman3dir=/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/man/man3
    -Dsiteman3dir=/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
    -Dvendorman3dir=/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/man/man3

I am trying to get ikiwiki to install correctly by honoring a man page 
directory setting that can be provided by perl.

I am not sure if I am supposed to use "vendor" or "site". But either way, 
it would be good if it was not under "lib/perl5/*_perl/".

Where can this be improved?

If it is not okay to change, then what are the above settings for?
