Suppose we use a repository as follows:

            require PAR;
            PAR->import( { repository => $url1,
                           fallback   => 0, # check repository first
                         } );

Then, we use another repository:

            PAR->import( { repository => $url2,
                           fallback   => 0, # check repository first
                         } );

Later, we require Foo, and both repositories contain a Foo module.  Which 
repository's Foo 
should be loaded?  Today PAR::import gives priority to $url1, but I claim it 
should be $url2.  
Does anyone disagree?

The patch is attached.

Thanks!
Ken
