As I guess most of you know, Apple's system Perl layout is broken,
because it doesn't version the module directories and this means
Perl
upgrade trauma.

Is it really broken or is it different? Lots of folks here just tend to install their version in the correct place and leave Apple's alone. (I haven't yet but I will when I decide to upgrade to 5.8.0.) Perhaps Apple squashes bug reports like this because they see it not as "A bug, but a feature"

I think it is "really broken", for example, how is apple going to upgrade Perl to 5.8 without it breaking for people who've installed XS modules?
