That's odd, it exists in /usr/lib/perl5/ here, not haveing been moved to
share yet. And I am current with unstable. That directory is not in your
@INC. Your @INC should be:

    /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.0
    /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.0
    /usr/lib/perl5
    /usr/share/perl5
    /usr/lib/perl/5.6.0
    /usr/share/perl/5.6.0
    /usr/local/lib/site_perl
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.6/i386-linux
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.6
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux

You may manage to shut perl up by removing the ": lvalue" in the
abovementioned file, I dunno.

Does anyone on debian-perl know if perl 5.6.1 has added this weird lvalue
goto diagnostic? If so, I should probably change debconf to not use lvalues
in my AUTOLOADs..
