Ah right, I think I see what you're getting at now.

If we've got a clean separation between perl-native and host perl,
though, can't we now just eliminate all of that futzing with PERL5LIB in
cpan.bbclass and such like places?  perl-native already knows how to
look in the right places within the sysroot for its modules so there
should be no need for anything else to be overriding it.
