/Library/Perl appears before /System/Library/Perl in @INC, so 
user-installed modules take precedence over core modules.
Unfortunately that's not true:
% perl -V | grep 'INC\|Library'
  @INC:
    /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1
    /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /Library/Perl/5.8.1
    /Library/Perl
    /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level
    /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.1
    /Network/Library/Perl
I've wondered for years why 'privlib' comes before 'sitelib' in @INC, 
and I've raised the issue on p5p, but nothing seems to have changed.
