Both of these points are from a misreading of the second paragraph. > > You may not create any directories off of /usr/local besides those > > listed in FSSTND 4.8.

Both of your examples are ok as they use `lib', which is listed in 4.8. `/usr/local/site_perl' would not be ok though. In the above example, perl would rmdir just the site_perl/i386-linux part of the directory it created. Feel free to change my wording to make it more clear.
