After some thought, I think I'd recommend that perl5.005_xx retain the
same directory structure that perl5.00[34]_xx did. (with 5.005 in place of
5.00[34], of course).
Perl's default directory structure is designed to accomodate the
simultaneous installation of more than one perl version. Since Debian
doesn't do that, there's no reason to put versions in separate
version-specific directories.
