	I'm pretty clear that for MacPorts the order
should be site, vendor, then base.  That way there is
the ability to (locally, site/user) put modules into
the first search directory, then MacPorts installed
modules are found next (from vendor), then the base
perl modules.

	Note that FreeBSD puts site first *and* puts
ports-installed perl modules into site, that's probably
why they don't use vendor.
