Thanks.

OK, now that Contents-i386 is up to date again, a revised list:

  /usr/lib/perl5/5.005

    freewrl			libcdk-perl
    liblockdev1-perl		libsql-statement-perl
    perl-tk			libmail-cclient-perl
    libcgi-pm-perl

  /usr/lib/perl5/5.6

    ipchains-perl		libapache-request-perl
    libcdb-file-perl		libchatbot-eliza-perl
    libcorba-orbit-perl		libhtml-mason-perl
    libhtml-template-perl	libimage-size-perl
    libio-stringy-perl		libnet-hotline-perl
    libnet-irc-perl		libstring-approx-perl
    libsufary-perl		libunicode-map8-perl
    libunicode-string-perl	htag
    libmime-perl		netcdf-perl
    libtext-iconv-perl

Another problem has come to light.  Some packages are installing into
perl's privlib.  This is rather nasty, as that directory will change in
the 5.6.1 packages so all of these will break:

  /usr/lib/perl/5.6.0

    pilot-link-perl		libgd-perl
    libdevel-symdump-perl	libfile-tail-perl
    libft-perl			libnkf-perl
    libsnmp-perl		libxml-sablot-perl
    speedy-cgi-perl		dcopperl
    libpgperl			grepmail
    pdl				irssi-text
    libapache-mod-perl

The mechanism for building modules under these packages is extremely
simple, and described in:

    http://people.debian.org/~bod/perl-policy/ch-module_packages.html

I would urge all module packagers to read it.  The current version at
that URL (1.19) should hopefully be the final version to go into
debian-policy.  The proposal (Bug#83977) was upgraded to [AMENDMENT]
today.
