I checked freebsd and gentoo too, and they don't modify it either. 
 
So it boils down to whether the default value in the unmodified AFM.pm is 
useful on the majority of OS's; if not, applications using it will have to 
take it into account anyway some way, and thus having a better default value 
here won't help much.  On the other hand, then it might be that instead of 
having a better defaults here, there could be several applications using 
Font::AFM that would need modification, which is probably even worse regarding 
maintenance. 
 
Also, the *.afm filenames seem to vary pretty much between the packages that 
provide them, like the test suite here expecting to find Helvetica.afm, which 
is shipped at least with the name Helvetica.afm in some OpenOffice's dirs, 
phvr.afm in a2ps and hv.afm in enscript. 
 
So, pick your poison, I don't see the default paths being a blocker, modified 
or unmodified, so consider this approved.  The test suite coverage and summary 
improvement bits should be committed, though.
