It seems to be worse than that:
# pdldoc -a slice

The PDL-Stats upstream Makefile.PL has this postamble:
install ::
@echo "Updating PDL documentation database ..."
@$(PERL) add_doc.pl
and add_doc.pl uses PDL::Doc methods to update the doc database
it finds on @INC.
So should the libpdl-stats-perl Debian package be disabling that and
relying on the trigger instead?
