Both of these points are from a misreading of the second paragraph.

By "directories off of /usr/local", I mean directories in /usr/local.
Both of your examples are ok as they use `lib', which is listed in
4.8. `/usr/local/site_perl' would not be ok though. In the above
example, perl would rmdir just the site_perl/i386-linux part of the
directory it created.
Feel free to change my wording to make it more clear.
