mean that all modules need to be rebuilt when the next perl minor version,
I assume 5.33, is released?
The next versions are likely to be 5.32 point releases, unless we are
brave enough (or insane enough) to use perl-7 in about a year's time. If
5.33 happens, then it will be a development version, save as 5.31.
After perl-7, perl-8 will not be compatible with perl 5.
And I will stress that Thomas's proposal was for long-term support on the
apparent assumption that perl5 would continue.
To suggest that moving so many modules to /usr/share which used to be in
/usr/lib is expected behaviour is a surprise to me, and I would appreciate
Thomas's comments. Before the change, /usr/share/perl5 was all-but empty.
Now it contains a lot:
