installsitearch & installsitelib in perl-modules

[Adriano Nagelschmidt Rodrigues <anr@safira.com>]

Hi,

The modules I download from CPAN are being installed under
/usr/local/{lib,share}/perl/5.6.1

Is it really necessary to keep the full version number, and have
multiple 5.6.x directories (which need also be present in @INC)?

Wouldn't /usr/local/{lib,share}/perl/5.6 do?

I recall that v5.6 isn't binary compatible with earlier v5 versions. I
guess it could happen again with future 5.x versions, leaving
/usr/local/{lib,share}/perl5 out of the question...

Maybe I'm missing something ;-)

Regards,
