You're correct, indeed it doesn't have any as far as I could check.

In fact, there is some sort of manipulation of that on a Hashicorp
Packer configuration:

sed -i -e "s#libpth => '/usr/lib /usr/lib'#libpth => '/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib'#"
/usr/libdata/perl5/${var.openbsd_architecture}-openbsd/Config.pm
sed -i -e "s#libpth='/usr/lib /usr/lib'#libpth='/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib'#"
/usr/libdata/perl5/${var.openbsd_architecture}-openbsd/Config_heavy.pl

I had issues with libs under /usr/local to other Perl modules in the
past and that configuration changes always handled this case.

Which makes me wonder if there isn't some other places I need to change
that too.

Just to give context, all this trouble is to run CPAN Smokers, which
already present security concerns by it's own nature, so manipulations
like this are acceptable and required.
