I was thinking about this anomaly some more...

The only thing that touches /usr normally is rpm(8)[*].  (yum, dnf,
and GUI friends all call rpm(8) to change files in /usr.)  And rpm(8)
doesn't get this stuff wrong.  Well, at least not if the rpm file is
correct and I think after decades of correct rpms for Perl, it's
probably correct today in F20.  At least it is on my updated to F20
system.

Have you done other things to /usr as the root user?

This is a bad sign.  Why would you use the root user to run perl -V?

But maybe the mystery is solved by finding out which perl binary file
is actually being executed both as root and as a normal user.

property of the system.  And the rpm(8) program maintains files there;
never sysadmins.
