Subject:	path/version mismatch between packages perl and perl-libwin32
MIME-Version:	1.0

Hi all,

the packages perl and perl-libwin32 seem to use incompatible paths.

perl-libwin32 v0.191-1 (current version) installs to 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int

perl v5.8.6-4 (current version) searches in 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin (among others)

When you try to use the perl Win32::OLE module, eg, you will get this 
error message:

$ perl -e "use Win32::OLE"
Can't locate Win32/OLE.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/5.8 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8/cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8 .) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

I tried to work-around including the other path manually, but then I get 
this error:

$ perl -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int -e "use 
Win32::OLE"
Can't load 
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/auto/Win32/OLE/OLE.dll' 
for module Win32::OLE: dlopen, Win32 error 126 at 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at -e line 1
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
