Well, the sysadmin should be able to put whatever they want in
/usr/local without messing up debian automated systems. Why is apt or
grub or whatever trying to run perl from /usr/local? If it needs a
specific version of perl, why is it not using the proper full path?
By installing a file in /usr/local/share/perl/<version>/ , you are
telling perl "hey, if you're version <version> of perl, here is a nice
file that I went out of my way to locally install for you. So use it
instead of the file that is included in your regular package. Because I
asked you to, nicely. TIA. Oh, and if the file is bad, please still use
it, and blow up in arbitrary ways. Because I asked you to use it, and I
know better than you."

Indeed. I have several CPAN-installed modules under /usr/local, but they
are in places where they can't be found* without setting PERL5LIB (which
is unset when I use aptitude). I never hear a peep from the package
manager about those CPAN modules.
