By setting also PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR, I was able to get pkg-config to
find my local libraries, compile and run the iowatch example and could
compile Glib-1.144.

Now, trying to compile Cairo-1.023, I get the following error:

$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/caehome/ra28145
*** can not find package cairo >= 1.0.0
*** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH
 at Makefile.PL line 56

But:

$ pkg-config --modversion cairo
1.4.0

I'm completely flummoxed.
