s{/local/}{/} if $debian (Score:2)

slide009.html of your presentation suggests that Debian puts stuff under /usr/local. On my debian system things look like this:
prefix: /usr modules: /usr/share/perl5 programs: /usr/bin module docs: /usr/share/man/man1 program docs: /usr/share/man/man3
I think /usr/share/perl5 is only used for 'pure-Perl' modules. Architecture-specific ones go under /usr/lib/perl5

  You're looking at the installation locations for core modules. Most everything else goes into the "site" locations (installsitelib, installsitearch, etc...) which are under /usr/local as they should be since its a locally installed widget.
