Right, but I still consider CPAN.pm (on Debian) dowloading and installing upstream local::lib -- separately from the packaging system -- as a not really brilliant option. (I don't want to imagine the amounts of bug reports due to local::lib setting up directories and environment variables on its own.) > That may mean that dh-make-perl needs changes anyway? As far as I could see in the bug report, the problem in dh-make-perl is only related to git repos and tarballs; that the output included the cpan/local::lib setup was IMO purely accidental.
