OK, so if I wnat to install the latest version of perl, and various lates
versions of CPAN modules, and keep all of this compliant with the Debain Way Of
Doing things, how do I acomplish this?
For instance, at the oment inorder to properly unilize Debug::Leak, I
need a perl compiled with -DDEBUG.
If I compile the latest version and put it in, say /usr/local, then I
have problems with the paths to nodules.
Whats the best way to do this?
