Dual-lived modules with scripts

[Dominic Hargreaves <dom@earth.li>]

Hi,

I'm in the process of packaging Devel::DProf from CPAN as part of
the deprecation routine for perl 5.14. This module installs a script
and would by default conflict with the main perl package
(/usr/bin/dprofpp).

Can anyone point me to any prior art here with regards to resolving
such a conflict? The obvious thing to do would be to use alternatives,
but it would be useful to know about previous experience or discussion,
for consistency.

Note that this is a slighly special case because it's actually the same
version in core (5.14) and CPAN, with some magic to make it behave
differently when installed from core, but the question is a general one.

Thanks,
Dominic.
