Nice to know about this, and that is the case. The basic @INC is something I take a hands off approach to at the moment ..., though I will need to take a more detailed look at a future date as using FindBin is apparently discouraged for distributed perl stuff.
I've never used FindBin and the only modification I ever make to @INC is via use lib to add a path to modules I'm developing.
However I have noticed on a couple of occasions that CPAN seems to flag that the SuSE installed version is the latest and only acts if required... Not too sure what this implies if for any reason the site version becomes older than the SuSE version (say after an OS upgrade.. ).
Your programs will continue to access the existing CPAN version. Suse programs should access the updated Suse version. But if I saw such an upgrade occurring, I'd upgrade the CPAN one as well. In practice, it never happens because I always load a fresh copy of a new version of the OS and then reinstall all the CPAN modules I need.
