Ah.  Now things are making more sense.

/Local/Library/Perl is where hints/darwin.sh says site-specific perl 
modules should be installed in Perl 5.6.1.

# Where to put modules.
privlib='/System/Library/Perl';
sitelib='/Local/Library/Perl';
vendorlib='/Network/Library/Perl';

So now the question becomes.
1. What makes you think that Apple won't overwrite anything in /Library/Perl?
2. Is darwin.sh (and rhapsody.sh, for that matter) wrong or right?

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
