Yes. $ perl -V:vendorlib -V:sitelib vendorlib='/usr/share/perl5'; sitelib='/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0'; Vendor stuff (packaged debs) goes under /usr/share/perl5 by default (well, it's more complex than that). Locally-insstalled stuff (site-specific) goes under /usr/local/share . Also, have you used dh-make-perl? It will pull down stuff from CPAN and automagically turn it into a .deb (though I don't know if it would necessarily fix this path problem).
