The change would mean, of course, rebuilding the other modules which
you've already done once for 5.10, but as this is still in experimental,
the end users shouldn't really be affected yet.

If you're prepared to make this change, I would propose the following
schedule:

* I wrap up my current dev cycle and upload over the weekend, which
would be a "pre-5.10" snapshot;

* you re-release 5.10 with the expanded archlib ASAP;

* I then begin reviewing all 120+ Perl modules and anything else
depending on (lib)perl for 5.10, eliminating any cruft, duplication,
etc. and rebuilding the rest (could easily take 2+ weeks of continued
development);

* once complete, we coordinate your stabilization of 5.10 in the distro
with my uploads to sourceware (3 modules) and Ports.
