I would suggest something like this:

  archname=i386-linux
  echo sitelib_stem= >config.over
  Configure -des \
      -Dprefix=/usr -Darchname=$archname \
      -Darchlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.6/$archname:/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/$archname \
      -Dprivlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.6:/usr/lib/perl5 \
      -Dsitelib=/usr/local/lib/site_perl

which produces an @INC containing:

  /usr/lib/perl5/5.6/i386-linux
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.6
  /usr/lib/perl5
  /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux
  /usr/local/lib/site_perl
  .

Note that /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 should not be required.
