i don't *usually* use perl that much, so i don't have that many
modules installed.  the ones that are...i have no idea what needs
them.

the fact that perl5-base doesn't conflict with perl5 is, imho, a
horrendous error.  the fact that perl5 is now a metapkg that depends
on some perl modules is just plain weird.
