This is perl built from pkgsrc:

Looking on another box also from pkgsrc, I see:

Characteristics of this binary (from libperl):
  Compile-time options: USE_LARGE_FILES
  Built under netbsd
  Compiled at Apr 11 2003 17:17:26
  @INC:
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-netbsd
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-netbsd
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd
    /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1
    .

Notice the 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, so it appears to keep old version in the
@INC.
