IMHO a policy violation at least. No it's not, the alternatives system was broken, the maintainer of perl is free to realize this and correct it. Well I haven't seen any informed or valid objections to me filing the 80-some bugs; I guess it'll do it tomorrow. -- see shy jo, who is tempted to ask for policy chapter and verse
