No because nobody will have perl-5.005 installed until the transition is completed. Only the developers of binary perl modules will have to install perl-5.005 for compiling them. All people maintaining simple perl scripts like dupload will only have to change the perl dependency by a perl5 dependency (no need to install perl-5.005 for that). And the developer who only maintains 100 % pure perl modules can build them with perl-5.004 (by following the perl policy) and it will work fine with our perl-5.005.
