Why? The Perl install routine works just fine alongside the Debian one. When I'm installing a Perl module from source, the dependencies it is looking for can come either from other modules I have installed the same way, or from Debian packages. It doesn't care, and that's how it should be. Once again, the thing to remember is: the dependencies we're talking about in this thread are _for installation from sources_, when the modules hasn't yet been packaged in the native OS form. The initial packaging is a special case of such source installation. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.
