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.
