Perl is probably installed in /usr/lib/perl5, but 'make install' for Cyrus
IMAPD put things in /usr/local/lib/perl5.

My solution was to 'cp -R' the whole thing over the first time, and the next
time I installed I just symlinked /usr/local/lib/perl5 to /usr/lib/perl5, so
the files would start out in the right place.  This worked fine.

I also had to remove one of the SASL RPMs, I think using CRAM-MD5 libs or
something, or else plaintext passwords would timeout every time (it was trying
CRAM first, timing out, then using plaintext).  Something else complained that
it was required, but whatever it was I didn't need anyway :>
