Method #1 (Makefile.PL) specifies mandir with
    INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR or
    INSTALLVENDORMAN1DIR
(the number can be changed to whatever sections one needs).
Example: http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/13.1/libraries/perl-Device-SerialPort/perl-Device-SerialPort.SlackBuild

Method #2 (Build.PL) specifies mandir with
    --install_path libdoc=/usr/man/man3 or
    --install_path bindoc=/usr/man/man1
Example: http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/13.1/libraries/perl-Date-Manip/perl-Date-Manip.SlackBuild

I suggest adding the lines
    --install_path bindoc=/usr/man/man1 \
    --install_path libdoc=/usr/man/man3
to the Method #2 in the perl template.
This avoids the need to move manpages manually from /usr/share/man
later on, like this slackbuild illustrates:
http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/13.1/libraries/perl-Test-Pod/perl-Test-Pod.SlackBuild

I hope I was clear.

V'yacheslav.
