Perl is designed so you can run multiple versions at the
same time.  However, some things may collide, like the
perl binary itself, "/usr/bin/perl" (and other non-versioned
Perl related scripts in /usr/bin: perldoc, perlcc, ld2, etc.).

The perl-5.6.1-1 package is installed in /usr/bin and /usr/lib/perl5
which should be different than the /usr/local used by other binary
distributions (or the default from a Perl Configure).  However,
depending on your PATH, /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl
may be found first.

The versioned binaries perl5.6.1, perl5.6.0 will not collide.
