dev-lang/perl installs packages to _core_,
distributed packages go to _vendor_ and
locally installed modules (not packaged) go to _site_.
<http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl/INSTALL#Installation_Directories>

Site is where tools like cpan and cpanp should install perl modules.

Think of /usr/bin/ and /usr/local/bin and see also bug 280730 about moving site to /usr/local.

- econf $(use_with perl perl-bindings) --disable-static
+ econf $(use_with perl perl-bindings INSTALLDIRS=vendor) --disable-static
