yikes,

When I run perl -MCPAN -e'shell' to install a perl module, the lovely thingy decides to stick the modules in: 

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl

[download]
But @INC, in all its wisdom decides to only include look at directories under: 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl

[download]

Yes, I know I can push @INC in my script, but what I want to know is:

"Is there any way to re-configure perl or the CPAN module so that modules added by CPAN can be found in @INC by default?

I heard that pushing into @INC effects taint mode, so would very much like to avoid this.

Any thoughts from the brothers and sisters?
