During the configuration process in preparation to build a new release of perl on your system, there are a number of questions and settings that refer to the location of libraries. Essentially, these paths are "Compiled In"; however, you can always change the default during the build.

A nifty build trick is to add library paths to be added to the front of the @INC path, thus overriding the built-ins with your own modules, should you choose to do so.

The relevant portion of code is

sh Configure -Accflags='-DAPPLLIB_EXP=\"/other/lib/dir\"'

as per the CPAN Install - Build and Installation guide for perl5 page.

-v

"Perl. There is no substitute."

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
