Oh, wow, I see, I had INSTALL_BASE defined in my environment, and
rrdtool sets PREFIX. This causes the rrdtool perl module to balk at the 
prospect of having both env variables set.

INSTALL_BASE is for used installing perl modules under a different
directory (using a CPAN module called local::lib), which is usually a
good idea if you don't want to mess with your main root, or want to
avoid being the superuser while installing or mess with files that your
package manager is managing.

Ideally, rrdtool would check for the INSTALL_BASE variable, and omit
setting PREFIX while building the perl wrappers ... but I can work
around the problem now that I know what's going on ... thanks, Tobi!
