+ Unfortunately, while this "style" variable is used to set
+ defaults for all three directory hierarchies (core, vendor, and
+ site), there is no guarantee that the same style is actually
+ appropriate for all those directories. For example, $prefix
+ might be /opt/perl, but $siteprefix might be /usr/local.
+ (Perhaps, in retrospect, the "lib" style should never have been
+ supported, but it did seem like a nice idea at the time.)
+
+ The situation is even less clear for tools such as MakeMaker
+ that can be used to install additional modules into
+ non-standard places. For example, if a user intends to install
+ a module into a private directory (perhaps by setting PREFIX on
+ the Makefile.PL command line), then there is no reason to
+ assume that the Configure-time $installstyle setting will be
+ relevant for that PREFIX.
