I'm all for that.  Right now there's so many different versions and perl
packages (dependencies and conflicts) that i can't make heads or tails of
it.  It's to the point that right now when i update sid, i just do an
update by hand in capt of everything that *doesn't* involve perl, since
everything on my system appears to be working at the moment, and i'd like
it to stay that way.  However, it is annoying that i can't just do a
regular 'apt-get' to solve my updates, since it always wants to do the
perl stuff...

I see this is supposed to be fixed in unstable...but my packages appear to
be having some conflicts...any suggestions?
