Don't be a pedantic twat doogie. The perl-code side of binary modules depends on bootstrapping the correct version of the compiled code. As such, those .pm files, which are generally only a thin interface over the XS code should go into /usr/lib as they are closely tied to the binary code (and different arches may be at different revision levels). MakeMaker generally does the right thing. If you believe otherwise, stop whining, provide adequate justification and file a bug on debian-policy. --bod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
