1. By default, the Perl module search order is "use lib, -I, PERL[5]LIB, perl, site, vendor, other". This means that in OpenPKG both the modules installed via CPAN shell (in "site" area) and the "perl-xxx" packages (in "vendor" area) cannot override the (sometimes obsoleted) module versions distributed with Perl (in "perl" area). Hence, we change the search order to a more reasonable one for OpenPKG: "use lib, -I, PERL[5]LIB, site, vendor, perl, other". 2. Already activate "vendor" area, althouh it is still unused in OpenPKG. It will be soon used by the "perl-xxx" packages to make "site" area available for manual (think CPAN shell) module installations.
