in thread Why does PERL5LIB need to be so verbose?

... this doesn't answer the other interesting question - why is there a proliferation of directories, and what is it that means one goes in one place and another goes somewhere else?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but, is this a real question?

    Yes it is....

    For example:
    Why is String::Format under /h/o/m/e/perl5/lib/perl/ whilst Term::ANSIColor is under /h/o/m/e/perl5/lib/perl/5.10.0 and Test::Strict is under /h/o/m/e/perl5/lib/perl/site_perl/5.10.0
    Its not like I'm deliberately installing things in odd ways - sometimes I'll use cpanm and sometimes I'll use perl -MCPAN -e shell
