FWIW, the AppendToPath file is a general purpose mechanism to append
paths to @INC. As shipped from Apple, it includes the Extras
directory (which is where the third-party perl modules that we ship
are installed), and (to provide backwards compatibility) it contains
paths to previous /Library/Perl/5.8.x directories that we have used in
the past. (Note that if you move aside the AppendToPath file, perl
will run without any third-party modules, useful for testing if you
depend on modules outside the standard perl distribution.)
You can also add paths to a PrependToPath file (which Apple doesn't
ship), to prepend paths to @INC.

OK, I have dug up some information I found some time ago... The
standard (Tiger) implementation of @INC can be modified or added to
via: /Library/Perl/5.8.6/AppendToPath
I am assuming the equivalent in any installed version exists, but
this will sort out 5.8.6.
I think that might help some headaches.
