Okay. That's relatively easy. I can just change privlib and archlib to
the directories and put in symlinks.
I do worry about what this might break as well. Another option would be
to have /usr/lib/perl5/debian(/$arch)? be the first element of @INC and
leave /usr/lib/perl5/$version(/$arch)? there with only the Perl
installed files. I'll ask on p5p if this will break things.
Please lets have a decision on this soon. I've uploaded a new version
of Perl right now to fix the data-dumper problem.
BTW, the reason that this doesn't affect many people on p5p is that
non-core modules are usually installed someplace outside of the Perl
tree. INSTALLDIRS=perl is usually only used for the core.

Sorry about that. It is called unstable because things break
sometimes. Even on my development box, I watch debian-bugs to see if
disastrous things happen. I'm still worried about libc6 2.0.7u-1.
