I've included the following code in perl's postinst:
test -w /usr/local/lib -a !-e /usr/local/lib/site_perl && mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/site_perl/=arch=-linux
and the following code in perl's prerm:
(test -w /usr/local/lib && rmdir -p /usr/local/lib/site_perl/=arch=-linux 2>/dev/null || exit 0)
# this will only remove site_perl if it's completely empty of site stuff
This should work. It all seemed to work on the euid...
After I upload the package tonight, tell me if it works.
