You're quite correct. Many moons ago Net::Config was an automatically generated conffile (similar to /usr/share/doc/perl/Net/Config.eg). I moved it to /etc/perl under the mistaken assumption that was still the case. >A solution for that would be to move /etc/perl/Net/Config.pm to >/usr/share/perl/5.8.1/Net/. I attached a patch for this solution. Applied, thanks.
