apache-perl vs HTML::Mason

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

okay, apt-get is wonderful and all that -- but when sticking
with a tried-and-true potato setup, it's hard to get feature
updates without some extra-apt activity...

such as

	perl -MCPAN -e shell
	> install Bundle::HTML::Mason

to get a version newer than 0.72 of HTML::Mason -- and of course
the current version of mod_perl is 1.2103 and the new Mason
needs 1.22 or better. aaugh!

is there a quickie-like fix without having to do a full to-woody
upgrade? :( i'd like to have a semi-modern HTML::Mason and
apache-perl, without having to overhaul the whole schlabotnik...

is it a |dream?
