Well, "perl5" enough for most purposes. The packages that use databases or new/incompatible features are the ones that depend specifically on perl-5.005. In potato theres a dh_perl utility that studies what features are being used, and generates a correct ${perl:Depends} for the control file. netgod <apt> waffles are the physical manifistation of a hyperdimensional quasi-real foodstuff originating from Xantar IV, home of the Pognitisious Flabberstompers.
