It's not reasonnable. Perl scripts shoud always use /usr/bin/perl which is
the perl the admin wanted to have. If a script uses a module, the dependency
against a specific perl version is implicit (the module will depend on
the latest perl).

Heu ? Added at the end of @INC is a good thing imho. Because packages that
have been updated will use the new modules and other packages may be found
in the old directory (and may work if the module is architecture-independant).
But I will say nothing if /usr/lib/perl5 won't be in @INC ...
