That was one of my ideas. You may remember a pice of mail I sent
out a couple of days ago asking what folk thought. In hindsight I
could have been clearer about my intentions.

Apologies. I was working from a base of ignorance and speed - I'd
like to get perl5 into 3.0 ASAP, and I thought that a step forward
was thrashing out the ports issues.

Er, not quite. :-) Your work will be very useful in making the 3.* perl ports
(and the 2.2.8 ones) work properly.
Here is my proposed scheme:
Perl5-distributed library stuff goes in /usr/libdata/[{alpha|i386}-freebsd/]*
Perl5 ports go in /usr/local/libexec/perl5/[{alpha|i386}-freebsd/]*
How do you feel about that?
