neither or both depends what you mean

I've moved templates to lib in the distribution, which gets moved to
wherever the module is installed, so any automated software, etc can
access it at a known place.

This also means the templates are available if you install via cpan,
don't remember to copy the templates out of the build directory, and
the build directory gets 'cleaned'.

I think this is the right thing to do.

You don't keep important stuff where it will be deleted by sensible
sysadmins or software - .cpan/build/ is a cache and so liable to be
wiped when space is low either automatically or by any passing
sysadmin, if you install manually chances are that after installation
you remove the source/build directory as otherwise it just sits there
gathering dust.
