Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.9.0.0
Severity: minor
Hi,
perl/5.8.0-7 added /etc/perl to @INC:
* Prepend /etc/perl to @INC to provide a standard location for
configuration modules:
But this addition has never been documented in the Debian Perl Policy.
I suggest to add /etc/perl to the list of location in the "Module Path"
section.
A simple patch doing so is attached below, but it might be a good idea to
document what "configuration modules" are and what the "etc" tag means (only
"core", "vendor" and "site" are explained above, but none of those matches the
use of /etc/perl).
Regards,
Ansgar
