No, not at all.

If you do "./configure --prefix=$HOME/test" then the swish.cgi script
will be installed at $HOME/test/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi and that
swish.cgi will know to look in $HOME/test/bin/ for the binary and
$HOME/test/lib/swish-e/perl for the modules.

Let's see how bad I am at keeping my home directory clean:

moseley@bumby:~$ locate swish.cgi | grep '/lib/swish-e'
/home/moseley/24/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/home/moseley/444/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/home/moseley/555/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/home/moseley/777/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/home/moseley/leak/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/home/moseley/nnn/lib/swish-e/swish.cgisuffix
/home/moseley/old.swish-e/debian/swish-e/home/moseley/aaa/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/home/moseley/swish_daily_build/install_swish-e-2003-10-22/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/home/moseley/t3/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/home/moseley/test_build/install_swish-e-2003-10-16x/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi
/usr/local/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi

And you can see how paths get fixed up at installation:

moseley@bumby:~$ fgrep 444 /home/moseley/444/lib/swish-e/swish.cgi

use lib qw( /home/moseley/444/lib/swish-e/perl ); 
        swish_binary    => '/home/moseley/444/bin/swish-e',  # Location of swish-e binary
                INCLUDE_PATH    => '/home/moseley/444/share/swish-e',
                path                => '/home/moseley/444/share/swish-e',
