I don't think that general "policies" regarding the placement of 3rd-party
libraries change with the OS. It's a mere question of "self-contained" v.
"uses libraries from the system". For applications that either share
several machines or where I cannot install modules from CPAN directly into
the site library directory, I choose this approach, too. The only problem
that you cannot solve with the "self-contained" approach is that of
libraries with XS code: Changing library versions or even architectures
will render this particular contained library unusable.
HTH.
