Re^5: Why don't some CPAN modules append perllocal?

As far as I have ever been able to tell, the original developers and subsequent maintainers of Module::Build have always considered this more a wishlist item than a bug.

But as far as I know nobody has cared enough to submit a pull request; it seems at least possible that it would be applied.

I couldn't find any "official" documentation for `perllocal` and I doubt there is any standard, since naming it so closely to `perllocale` would be more than unfortunate. If it's a pseudo-standard by some installers/builders, than the next question is, if such a limited static list in POD is a better choice over searching @INC dynamically. Hence what's the use-case? I have some ideas about that, but most of them would be better covered by cpan and cpanm creating something like YAML or JSON.
