I think you're wrong. perl5.005 and perl5.005-thread are binary-compatible. But in order to support threads, they had to break the binary-compatibility beetween perl5.004 and perl5.005.

Which in fact doesn't mean we cannot add /usr/lib/perl5 at the end of @INC because architecture-dependant packages will be found before.
