This Perl issue is really becoming more and more of a problem.

I know that here on the lists instructions where given of how to
compile the CPAN modules for oneself. But this had to be done whenever
one installed a new version of the LMS. So, not really a choice for
people using the nightlies (like me).

On the other hand, https://github.com/sbellon/slimserver-vendor hasn't
changed for quite some time.

So, wouldn't it be possible to build the Perl modules *once* per new
Perl version and reuse them whenever one installs a new nightly LMS?

Problem right now is that Debian unstable (x86_64) is on Perl 5.26, but
LMS does not come with CPAN binaries for 5.26, so a lot of packages
have to be put "on hold" (currently 88, daily growing) which makes
maintaining the system more and more complex - besides not getting
security updates for packages on hold.

I'd appreciate a solution to this issue very much!

Greetings,
Stefan
