Hi Jean-François.

Actually, /sw/bin/config_data is perfectly appropriate, since only  
one module-build-pmXXX package should be installed at a time.

The only problem here is that the perl5100 package Provides module- 
build-pm5100-bin, and as such, is trying to install its own copy.  So  
we need module-build-pm5100-bin to Replace perl5100 (but not Conflict  
with it) and the problem will be solved.
