One more remark:
Some time ago i asked on how locally installed Perl-Modules behave,
when one upgrades Perl. Which module will be used when "official"
and local variants are available? How CPAN module integrates with
Debian? etc.
Some people seemed interested and asked me to find out. Well Mike,
you answered the question: If one doesn't add the local modules to
ones standard libpath, they naturally won't affect anything.
When including them "by hand" everytime you need them the CPAN module
beeing not integrated seems ok.
Thanx
Bernd
