Hi, I can't get why we used versionned vendorbin, vendorarch and vendorlib with perl it seems to only provide us problems: need of perl-after-upgrade, reinstallation of most p5- things after even a simple 5.12.3 -> 5.12.4 upgrade? why not follow what is done by default by the build system and use a string (not versionned for those variable) like perl5_vendors or something like that? That would also allow user to upgrade from 5.12 to 5.14 almost painless. if really changing from 5.12 to 5.14 can lead to majors incompatibility problems (which I'm not convinced at all) we could use perl5.12 but not including the minor version which still is not that good to me but way better. regards, Bapt
