Arch Linux finally with 5.10.0 :(
Today my Arch Linux updated its Perl package to 5.10.0 (finally). But, unfortunately, configured in a strange way. Why to put binaries under /usr/bin/perlbin/vendor and /usr/bin/perlbin/site?
I mean, I know that there is that option in the configure script. But the default options (the one that the experts think are the more adequate) put them all together under /usr/bin.
Now I am compiling Perl by hand (not anything I never did before). I hate to do this, as it breaks the way package updates work.

Yes. They should die. How's that for a polemic statement? :-)
