My @INC path on the standard stable Perl install is :

	/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach
	/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503
	/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd
	/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005

.. which doesn't seem right to me.  We've installed perl 5.6 as we had too
many problems with the default 5.00503 install and haven't noticed any
problems apart from a massive startup time (7 seconds!) on perl
scripts.  Anyone else seen this behaviour?
