I don't understand why the debian developers are undertaking to maintain debianified version of Perl modules when the CPAN module and its mechanisms are so much more native to Perl, are well-supported by the Perl community, etc? Besides, Perl already has it's own automated upgrade system (CPAN), it's own configuration mgmt system (Config), and it's own automated compilation and installation system (MakeMaker).
It seems like making work for no good reason. Let all the Perl modules be installed by way of CPAN. You could even have simple scripts driving installation. I really feel we'd have a better and more supported Perl product that way. .....A. P.
