My $.02 on this - and this is only personal feedback- is that perl -MCPAN -e shell is even easier than apt-get. So I maintain a perl5.tgz with our various modules from CPAN already installed and whenever debian blows away our perl on any particular machine we just unpack it from our local distribution tree, maybe updating with a new DebianNet.pm or some such. What I would prefer is perl -MCPAN -e shell and install Bundle::Debian. I'm **almost** tempted to bite on that too ;^) > > > That's good enough for me.

For better or worse, if the perl developers chose this new structure for 5.005, then the decision to deviate incurs a huge cost, particularly when one considers the snowball effect and the costs of realignment in the future.
