Comment (by bonefish):
"/packages/<package>/.self" is a symlink that always refers to the
installation location of the package in question. It allows hard-coding
absolute paths at build time while still allowing the package to be
installed in either of the three installation locations.
By default perl is installed in "/boot/common". So your site perl is
"/boot/common/non-packaged/lib/perl5/site_perl/...", which is intended.
The "non-packaged" directories in "/boot/common" and "/boot/home/config"
are the base for a writable directory hierarchy, while most of the sibling
directories are read-only (save for a few exceptions like "settings",
"cache", and "var").
So the `@INC` paths look OK, I guess. I'm not sure about the vendor perl
directories. We might want to consider changing those to explicitly list
both "/boot/common/..." and "/boot/home/config/...", so one can install
packaged perl modules in home, even if perl itself is installed in common.
