Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 I found this documentation:

 http://www.xav.com/perl/lib/Config.html#v

 {{{
 vendorlib
     From vendorlib.U:

     This variable contains the eventual value of the VENDORLIB symbol,
 which is the name of the private library for this package. The standard
 distribution will put nothing in this directory. Vendors who distribute
 perl may wish to place their own modules in this directory with MakeMaker
 Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor or equivalent. See INSTALL for details.
 }}}

 We don't have any private libraries.  Where does dpkg put their perl
 modules?

 Looking at some other distros, it looks like one candidate is
 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/<perl version>

 Should we do that?
