Yes, I think that's a better way to look at it.  I think I had a
glimpse of this view at the beginning, which is why I suggested that
libperl.so be distributed with a /usr/bin/perl-5.6-shared.  Then it
would be easy to build modules for use with mod_perl:

    $ perl-5.6-shared Makefile.PL

Presto.
