Ah good point.  I've not seen a debianised perl module break like that
in ages, so it'd got paged out.

Not on the current unstable it doesn't - if you ask for 5.005 you get little
shims that depend on 5.6.1.  My laptop has a copy of 5.5.3
hand-installed under /usr/local, but that's more for compatibility testing
than active dev work.
