Thanks. I'm going to try renaming that whole directory and see what happens since I want to stay 100% standard on that machine. It sounds like it's my problem and not Debian's, which makes this a learning opportunity for me.

The only thing that comes to mind is that building Perl modules locally
might auto-install dependencies via CPAN, but that's a bit of a long
shot and Debian source packages shouldn't do even that.

That does seem like a long shot.

As I don't think there's anything more I can do to help, I'd like to
close this bug. Please let me know if that's OK with you.

Of course. I will open a bug report in my mind. Thanks again for the quick and helpful response.
