AFAIK, the blib directory structure is temporary. It's only used during
"make test" to find the files which are not yet installed. After make
install the files go into their "normal" place.

At least it should work like this. :-/

No, blib is a temporary stuff.

Look at lib/perl5/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm and friends.
