Note that not all ways of installing modules update this file. Last time I checked, it was the generated Makefile that included the code to update that file. If you use the MakeMaker tools for installing modules without a Makefile, then the perllocal.pod won't be updated (and this was reported as a bug so it might be fixed now). I'm not sure whether PPM, etc. update that file.
