It also seems that Debian and CPAN have learned to live much more harmoniously than in the past. I used to be perl-porters regular so my first stop for Perl modules is CPAN to get the latest. This used to cause me no end of headaches... I had scripts that basically treated the debian package manager the way a lion tamer with a gun and chair treats a lion :-)
