I believe he's talking about Perl modules without XS (or other non-Perl)
components.  These aren't affected by changes in binary compatibility.
Compiled modules would still go into a versioned directory (using, I
hope, a scheme which really tracks binary compatibility rather than Perl
version numbers, as you describe).
