Isn't the whole purpose of the site_perl directory to act as a place to

If it is, you'll find a few packages that incorrectly deliver to
site_perl by default, such as:
pkg:/[email protected]
The package system doesn't yet have a concept of package delivered
directories that aren't managed by the package. If a package delivers a
specific directory, then it expects the package manifest to dictate what
the contents of that directory can be. This allows it to deal with fun
things like directories moving to a different location or becoming a
symlink, hardlink, etc.
perl will look in by default that isn't delivered via an IPS pkg?
$ perl -le "$,=', '; print @INC"
...will show you the default search path. From the looks of it, all of
the directories that the default configuration (determined at compile
time) looks in are delivered via the package.
You can also control this through various environment variables and
other methods of course.
