Just verified that if you initialize your CPAN shell you'll get the following dialogue:

    Parameters for the 'perl Makefile.PL' command?
    Typical frequently used settings:

    POLLUTE=1        increasing backwards compatibility
    LIB=~/perl       non-root users (please see manual for more hints)

    Your choice:  []

So, it's not so "wack" after all :).
