Just to clarify one thing about fink's setup.
We store all XS modules in versioned subdirectories of /sw/lib/perl5.
The modules which are stored directly in /sw/lib/perl5 are the non-XS
modules, which should work the same across all perl versions.
(This wasn't always true, but we had a big cleanu

You're right.

I agree here and have started on this code, it's just i have two branch
I'm working on already, once they get merged i can start a new branch
ad add auto perl version code.

The scheme was disrupted somewhat when Apple compiled perl 5.8.1 for

with a different architecture flag. So for "Type: perl 5.8.1" we now
need

By the way, the versioned perl module packages are supposed to state
a build-time dependency on "perl5.x.y-core", which guarantees that the
appropriate binary is present to compile the package.
