When installing Cyrus under Solaris I run into the same problems with 
perl-modules as you do. But because I really dislike setting the PREFIX 
to /usr, I've found another solution that I posted to the list a while 
ago: (2004-01-03 Subject: The Cyrus perl modules)

My suggestion: leave the location of the actual perl modules up to 
MakeMaker, so don't pass PREFIX when building the module makefiles out 
of Makefile.PL. To accomplish this, one would remove the PREFIX= entries 
from perl/Makefile.in (line 83) and perl/sieve/Makefile.in (line 81).

The only drawback of this is that cyradm and it's manpage end up under 
/usr/perl5/5.6.1/{bin,man}, which is arguably where they belong. For 
convenience, I've symlinked it from /usr/local/bin.
