=2Epod is 'plain ordinary documentation' or some such. perllocal.pod is
generated when you install ports from CPAN rather than through the ports
system -- it's officially a record of what add-on perl modules you've
installed -- superfluous when you're using the ports as it already has
mechanisms to track that sort of thing. It doesn't belong to any particu=
lar
module and it's generally safe to delete.

Heh. site_perl is a more important place to check than anywhere else.
site_perl is where you are going to find any stray files that exist
as that's where all the add-on modules should be installed to.=20
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ is for the stuff bundled with perl as
the standard modules.
Cheers,
Matthew
