When I ran Configure, I define my lib directory to be "~/lib/perl".
It seems that the ~ was not expanded properly, and I found it
in ~/src/perl3.0/~/lib/perl.

I am going on vacation this evening, and don't have the time
to reconfigure and remake.  A simple mv of ~/src/perl3.0/~/lib/perl/*
into ~/lib/perl did not solve the problem.  So I will try remaking
when I come back.

Thanks for the prompt reply as well as for developping perl.
