That is not true anymore. In the latest version of AS Perl (version 5.8.8 build 819), the perl/site/lib starts out empty and gets filled by modules you install yourself (through CPAN / CPANPLUS or ppm).

From the docs:

There are two install areas that always are present for an ActivePerl installation: perl and site. The perl interpreter itself, the core modules, and packages bundled by ActiveState are in the perl install area. The site install area is where the local administrator installs additional packages. This area starts out empty in a new installation of ActivePerl.
