You can't. The default search paths are hardcoded into the perl executable
at build time, so you'd have to rebuild the perl binary, or add a
    BEGIN { @INC = qw(foo bar baz) }
at the top of each script.

But why do you want to do this? Although Fedora's choice of perl library
dirs is somewhat eccentric, is this actually causing you issues?

Note also that on 64-bit fedora, perl binary modules are stored under
/usr/lib64/perl5, so removing that from @INC would break your perl
installation.
