     Perhaps that's an issue with Gentoo?  I've not had any problems using Perl   
   modules from both the Debian repositories and from CPAN;  they don't get   
   installed to the same paths, after all...  Mind you, _not_ the same modules   
   from both, at least not for system wide usage;  but then that's my   
   responsibility as admin of the system to keep track of that.     
      
     'Course, it's becoming less and less of an issue as any modules that I want   
   to be able to use but are not already in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories   
   (depending on which system I'm working on), I just create a local debian   
   package for it.  Though for a Windows system, I don't have that kind of option;   
    I just use CPAN for those...
