Perl has its own ecosystem (cpan) that does an incredibly good job of
packaging, updating, and dependency management. Mixing and matching
that with Debian packaging, and expecting

FWIW, the way it presents the solution makes it hard to see what's
really going on. More specifically, the list of removed pac

It doesn't remove anything without your permission. It proposes
a solution to the problem you present it with. You can reject that
