} 1.  cd was used which called my cd function

I can see where this would be annoying, but somebody else could just as
easily have a function for chdir.  A somewhat better fix would be to use
`builtin cd', but even that is going to call peoples' chpwd functions.

} 2.  with multiple versions of perl around it's nice to complete modules
}     specific to the version of perldoc being used

Everything about this change looks OK except the call to _store_cache,
which I don't think should have the ${(P)...} in the second argument.
Just $perl_modules is needed.

An improvement would be for the first argument to both _retrieve_cache
and _store_cache to be ${perl_modules#_}, to continue using the same
cache name as the previous version of the function.

This patch goes on top of Paul's; I'll commit the end result soon.

Any suggestions for how to avoid the chpwd problem?
