That's good advice about the default. Since the default list is [none], then Configure must not have found any suitable versions of perl under /usr/local. Chances are, you should take the default. If there were items in the list, they would presumably be earlier versions of perl whose @INC lists could become part of your new perl's @INC. Even though the list is empty, if you have compatible modules in those @INC directories, you should still be able to use them with your new perl binary. (See the lib pragma.) Nevertheless, it is often easiest to re-install (new versions of) any modules you need for the new binary. For some modules, it may be the only way to go, in fact.
