I just use testing (Score:2)

by jdavidb (1361)

Despite the name, testing is generally quite stable. You might not want to run a critical piece of infrastructure on it, but it should be good enough for anything MySQL is good enough for. :P ;)
But I don't manage Perl modules from the OS. I leave the system Perl alone and manage my own in another directory.

  Here here to this suggestion. I've been bitten one too many times mixing cpan and apt-get usage. It is always better to let the OS do what it wants with its perl and manage a completely separate build and set of paths, etc of perl.
