[Bug 1138817] Perl core modules are installed into vendor_perl, so they are not updated by cpan

--- Comment #2 from Dan Book <grinnz at gmail.com> ---
When testing this it was not using local::lib or any such local install. There
was no ~/perl5. CPAN and cpanm both install the updated Test::Simple into
/usr/share/perl5 by default. Non-core modules are installed into the site perl
directory which is /usr/local/share/perl5:

$ perl -V:installsitelib
installsitelib='/usr/local/share/perl5';

But there is no trace of the Test::Simple distribution there after having both
cpan and cpanm "successfully" install the updated distribution.
/usr/share/perl5/Test/Simple.pm however is the updated version. The problem is
that while /usr/local/share/perl5 comes before /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl
(where the RPM installs to), /usr/share/perl5 comes after in @INC.
