in reply to where to store pre puberty modules on a box

I don't know that there is a "community standard". However, I've seen many advocate naming "local" modules under the Local:: namespace and thus installing them in the "Local/" subdirectory of the perl site library directory. Another alternative is to name them after a company or author.

You can also put them outside the standard perl library directories and just set the PERL5LIB environment variable.
