I think I confused two different things: perl module source vs. installed
modules.  Do you check in the source or the installed modules?

I keep the source of my perl modules under cvs, but not the perl library
i.e. the files generated from make install, which might include binary
components.

I use a PREFIX for my own modules, but I tend to install CPAN modules in
the main perl library.  My own modules get installed in the application
directory tree so that there's still a top level directory for the entire
application/site.

It does worry me that I'll update a CPAN module (or Apache::*) in the main
Perl library and break something some day.  (Although on things like
updating mod_perl I have copied /usr/local/lib/perl5 before make install.)
