The "correct" logic for loading libraries is
1. Load a module that comes in the Perl core
2. If a vendor has provided a different version to the core, use that instead
3. If a specific host has installed a different version to either of
the above, use that instead.
The lib/site ordering is actually an extremely long standing design mistake.
