My symlink strategy would only apply to non-XS modules. For XS modules, we make separate fink packages for each version, and properly store things in /sw/lib/perl5/5.x.y .
But for non-XS modules, it shouldn't matter which version of perl is running it, right? (as long as the module doesn't explicitly require a more recent version of perl than the one you have installed...) -- Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Randal L.
