Oh, interesting.

Are the things they are installing significantly different than the  
ones that shipped with perl5? I would suspect that they don't change  
very much (but that the perl modules that get installed have most of  
the changes). It might be OK to just remove those files in post- 
destroot so they don't get installed.

I haven't taken a look at them to see if this is actually the case or  
not, though.

Otherwise they should probably be renamed before installing them (like  
how we handle other conflicts of this sort).
