Getting p5-foo packages to install in the right place

In general, you probably can't. For each package, you can try
"pkg_info -p <whatever>.tgz" to see what the package base is, but it's
probably /usr/local for all of them. The path names beyond /usr/local
are wired into the package, and can't be changed.

To fix this, you probably have to install from the ports, not the
packages.
