    It's my understanding that on Mac OS X perl modules are supposed to install somewhere under /Library/Perl. On Solaris and Linux when you install a perl module you do so with a plain old 'perl Makefile.PL' and the module will get installed in "the right place", i.e. somewhere in perl's @inc path. However, when I do this kind of vanilla install for DBI and DBD-mysql (I've not installed any other modules so far) they do NOT get installed under /Library/Perl, but under /usr/local/lib.

    What's going on and what's the best way to get it right?
