Clearly it isn't forced to be, since you can always change it in your
script(s).  On Unix it's whatever is in the first slot of your PERL5LIB
environment variable if you have one.  So you can't rely on it being the
main lib directory, although it usually is.

}$INC[0] is the new lib:MacPPC directory (which, BTW, is also missing the
}trailing : in @INC, I believe).
}
}Maybe it is just convention that $INC[0] is usually the main lib.

Under MacPerl it seems to be a little more than convention, since :MacPerl
Ä:lib is automatically in @INC in the [0] slot.  There doesn't seem to be
any way to rearrange the contents of @INC in the Preferences.  Too bad,
because I'd like my own PERL5LIB folder to be searched first...
