In any case, you need to set site_perl at some point.  That's the problem.
And I can't do it, the user has to.

I suppose I could rename old versions of the same files in lib ... what
does anyone think about that?  It would just be for the cpan-mac
installation, and done only with a dialog box ("Do you want to rename old
versions of modules to foo.old?").  Then the files would still be there,
but they would not be used.
