Huh, that ain't right. Modules are built separately from the source,
and you usually do:

  gunzip -c module.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  cd module
  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install  # as root

which installs it in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl or wherever it
should on your platform.

To test if it worked, see if you can do this:

  perl -MMD5 -e 'print MD5->hexhash('hi'), "\n";'
