Not equating, but prefixing. But we probably talk about the same thing, ie. /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl, /usr/local/share/man, /usr/local/bin. > I think of the latter as a > place to put unpackaged stuff, so I'd still want a place to put packaged > Perl modules that don't come with core or that override it with newer > components. I don't think there is anything wrong with installing *local* stuff into /usr/local (packaged or not), that's what the /usr/local hierarchy exists for anyway. That would help with the "override core" part. For stuff that isn't shipping in the repositories one uses, there would be the choice of using vendor (or site) install dirs.
