Right.  Prevents them from being modified, or seen from the Finder.
Probably, only the root MacPerl Ä would be made invisible, and every file
would be locked to prevent accidental deletion.  And a text file would be
put in the MacPerl Ä saying "do not touch or delete anything!"

This does not directly solve the problem of additional modules.
Mac::Apps::Launch, for instance, is not part of the standard distribution.
Sometime en route to perl5.005, I want there to be a program to aid in
installing/managing the site_perl directory.
