IMNSHO, that's what the BTS is for. Either file a bug on the external
package, or have packages that currently depend on it depend on
perl-modules instead. Having perl-modules conflict with every package
that lives both within the standard perl distribution and as a
seperate code base puts the onus on the wrong party.
