It works fine; I got the main modperl packages out and got derailed by the perl 5.6 bug that was breaking apacheconfig. I'll try to do apache-perl when I get back to school in January (two weeks).

all packages that depend on perl 5.00{5,4}[-base]. All such packages
should be updated to depend on perl-5.6 (possibly with 5.005 as an
alternate).
I'm not sure that solves all the problems - I'd like apache-perl
recompiled against perl5.6, and so the rest of modules.
It's no use if I got hmm say Apache::DBI module, but perl5.6 can't find it
because it's in 5.005 tree, and DBD::Pg hidden in 5.005 tree, that cannot
be used by 5.6 due to some binary incompatibilities.
Current situation - with perl5.00x handling old modules and perl5.6 newer
ones seems the best for stability of a system. Of course it's a bit
confusing to admin.
Or did I got completely confused and misunderstood the case?

Um, afaik perl 5.6 is fully binary compatable, and it certianly looks at the entire 5.005 tree. -- see shy jo
