I can't help with (a), but for (b) it would be helpful to bring that
up on the GNU Autoconf and/or Automake lists if it's a real problem.

Here's the entire configuration that we (swish-e) does for installing
those files:

From: filters/SWISH/Makefile.am:

perlmoduledir = $(libexecdir)/perl/SWISH


nobase_perlmodule_SCRIPTS = \
    Filters/Doc2txt.pm \
    Filters/Doc2html.pm \
    Filters/Pdf2HTML.pm \
    Filters/ID3toHTML.pm \
    Filters/XLtoHTML.pm

How and where they get installed depends on the tools provided by
Automake and Autoconf.

You might check what libexecdir is set to in your Makefiles -- and
then work back from there.  It's coming from your --prefix setting.
Look also in config.log for how prefix is begin set.
