Yes, several people have requested that, but it's not that simple...
given that we use the KDE build system, "prefix" often points to the KDE =
root=20
dir (libsmokeqt.so, as a KDE library, should be installed there if KDE is=
=20
installed), whereas "PREFIX" points to the root of the Perl hierarchy...
They are rarely the same.
But some kind of harmonization is definetly needed, I agree.
