order of @INC

Why is @INC ordered this way?
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux-thread-multi
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux-thread-multi
     /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1

With the core location before site_perl?

That makes it impossible to simply install a new version of a core 
module from CPAN since the core version will always be found first?

I run into this with Test::Simple before it got merged, so perl 5.8 
behaves in the same way.
