I wasn't going to generate a 5.005 threads package unless people ask for it... >> I thought last time this came up there was a decision to make a libperl, >> just not link /usr/bin/perl itself to it.

I'm delaying the release of the packages a few days so that I can release a shared libperl.so with it. A question that came up once before. Would it be better to put libperl.so in /usr/lib considering that our Perl binaries aren't actually linked with it? It would cause problems with MakeMaker and friends though, so it might not be worth it. I look at is something like the old man3 location. (Finally fixed in 5.6.0).
