It can be done, although I think you might have to remove the MacPerl
lib from the list and then put it back in after site_perl.  I have
mine ordered so that my libs come first.  One easy way to deal with
the problem, if you don't want to muck with the library list, is to
define a PERL5LIB with the environment editor, which, as I recall (I'm
on the Mac but running Linux), is a comma seperated list of Mac paths.
