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). -- Roderick Schertler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
