Two directories have been conflated (perhaps they always were) : /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/<5.x.y>/<linux-arch>/auto/Image/ and /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/<5.x.y>/<linux-arch>/Image/Magick/ [ without the /auto/ ] which contains Magick.so > I never really look at the perl modules.

By the time I add something to my normal builds, I prefer to know *what* is being added, and make my own decisions about if/when to build it - that's why I've stuck with an old version (5.8xx) of libwww-perl instead of the latest, which brings in a load of new dependencies that do nothing for my minimal use of it.
