I can't speak for omniti-perl, but the perl template in omnios-build
uses make_pure_install by default:

https://github.com/omniti-labs/omnios-build/blob/omniti-ms/lib/functions.sh#L792

Failing that you could add a package transform to not ship perllocal.pod
with your packages in either local.mog or lib/global-transforms.mog.
Something like:

<transform file path=path/to/perllocal.pod$ -> drop>
