o Why?

Because of this entry in the "Changes" file:

0.27_01 (Beta for 0.28)  Fri Apr 15 21:12:57 CDT 2005

Backward-incompatible (but better) changes:

 * When using the 'install_base' option to choose a directory for
   installing everything, perl modules now go into lib/perl5/ instead
   of just lib/.  It seems this is more consistent with people's
   expectations, and the way I had it before was a bit peculiar to the
   way I like things in my own home directory. [Michael Schwern]



o Why did it not delete the previous version, given I used:
perl Build install uninst=1

Probably because my-lib/lib wasn't part of your @INC. Module::Install searches your @INC for other copies to delete.
