FWIW, the AppendToPath file is a general purpose mechanism to append  
paths to @INC.  As shipped from Apple, it includes the Extras  
directory (which is where the third-party perl modules that we ship  
are installed), and (to provide backwards compatibility) it contains  
paths to previous /Library/Perl/5.8.x directories that we have used in  
the past.  (Note that if you move aside the AppendToPath file, perl  
will run without any third-party modules, useful for testing if you  
depend on modules outside the standard perl distribution.)

You can also add paths to a PrependToPath file (which Apple doesn't  
ship), to prepend paths to @INC.
