use Template;

It's definitely *not* in the list ExtUtils knows about.
It's no problem since I know what I installed and at least Debian offers
a consistent naming scheme. "dpkg -l 'lib*-perl'" does the job, but I
still consider that behaviour unfriendly and non-standard.
Just why couldn't they use site-perl?!?
Sigh, I'm ranting again...
