in thread How to change @INC permanently?

Notice that Perl scans /etc/perl by default.

doesn't seem to be the case on my machines. if it were, that might be a nice trick to use.

on debian perl 5.8.7 

$ perl -e 'print join "\n",@INC'
/etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7
/usr/lib/perl5
