That's possible but I'm not sure it's a good idea
Ok, after some thought, and fielding a LOT of perl questions on #debian,
I've come up with a more workable idea which gives us much better
handling for the next time something like this happens..
Rename perl to perl5.005, version 02-2 or such..
Then use the alternatives setup to decide which perl

Because most of the perl modules will work with all coming version of
perl. Because Debian do

Yes I've looked over source for packages t

Hello,
I thought about the problem with directory used for installing perl
modules. Actually if we do nothing, we would have to recompile all

now /usr/lib/perl5/$version (and perl5/$arch/$version) as path
to search for modules. And
