I completely agree with you Gervase.
Moreover, I spoke about this issue with some Debian Developers
yesterday, telling them that I'd like to put a specific Perl Module in
/usr/share/perl5/$package and asking them if it violateis the Debian
Policy.
They answered that it's up to me. Nothing in the Policy says that _only_
CPAN modules go in that place.
Second, I package another piece of software wich has also Perl modules
and I used /usr/share/perl5/$package too; and you know what, it was
accepted to enter Debian by my sponsor... (IIRC my sponsor adviced me to
use that place for my modules).
To conclude, I think that if a piece of software has to use its own
Foo::Bar Perl package, one good place to install the .pm files is
/usr/share/perl5/Foo.
Best regards,
Alexis.
