It does look like bastille's Perl modules are laid out very strangely.
For a start, if /usr/lib/Bastille is added to @INC and Bastille::API is
require()d, then /usr/lib/Bastille/Bastille/API.pm is needed, not
/usr/lib/Bastille/API.pm ...
Is there any reason why bastille can't just put its modules in the
normal place under /usr/share/perl5, as the Perl policy recommends? They
really don't look like they should be in /usr/lib anyway.
Thanks,
