I've two questions about @INC:

Q1: When I do perl -V, I see some directories in @INC that aren't part of the perl core, but point to directories added here. In what config files should I look to see where these extra dirs are getting added to @INC? (And "perl" isn't aliased with -I flags; which perl returns /usr/bin/perl.)

Q2:  /usr/local/lib/site_perl is listed in @INC. Is this standard? And the presence of /usr/local/lib/site_perl in @INC does NOT mean that  /usr/local/lib/site_perl/lib (which isn't listed in @INC) would be searched, right?

thanks for any tips
