This isn't good enough though. Data::Dumper is special. It's the only
one that will actually go away on install of Perl 5.005.
The explanation I've put in the README of the ftp/http site is:
e) After Perl-5.005 is installed, Data::Dumper is replaced.
Unfortunately, if you still want to use a module built using the
non-versioned Perl and it uses Data::Dumper, you'll fail.

>/usr/lib/perl5/5.004

>/usr/local/lib/site_perl
>/usr/lib/perl5

It's not on mine:
{2}[0]~ kitchen:-) perl-5.004 -le 'print join("\n", @INC);'
/usr/lib/perl5/5.004/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.004
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5
- From looking at the code, the only way that I could see that happening
would be if the incpush line we've add for Debian has addsubdirs =
TRUE. You said you were compiling it yourself, could you check that?
Thanks,
Darren
