Okay. That's relatively easy. I can just change privlib and archlib to the directories and put in symlinks. I do worry about what this might break as well. Another option would be to have /usr/lib/perl5/debian(/$arch)? be the first element of @INC and leave /usr/lib/perl5/$version(/$arch)? there with only the Perl installed files. I'll ask on p5p if this will break things. Please lets have a decision on this soon. I've uploaded a new version of Perl right now to fix the data-dumper problem. BTW, the reason that this doesn't affect many people on p5p is that non-core modules are usually installed someplace outside of the Perl tree. INSTALLDIRS=perl is usually only used for the core. >John Lapeyre, in an immanent manifestation of deity, wrote: >> I posted a message on perl5-porters asking for advice.

It is called unstable because things break sometimes. Even on my development box, I watch debian-bugs to see if disastrous things happen. I'm still worried about libc6 2.0.7u-1.
