According to Michael Smith:

It is not just 5 MB of source. It is just that we have to carefully
separate what's in the base Perl tree and what will be added after by the
administrator.
Fortunately, Perl has everything we need for that but it is tricky to do it
right. The @INC path is by default:
Base Perl tree
1. /usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.00308
2. /usr/local/lib/perl5
We'll have to find the proper place for them in /usr/lib{exec,data}/perl
and /usr/share/perl because it has a mixture of .so (binary) and .pm/.al
(text). Or we could keep all these in /usr/lib/perl (much easier
even if it probably violates hier(7) a bit).
Add-on packages
3. /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-freebsd
4. /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
5. .
