I think it's not necessary to declare CONFLICT here.  The Perl modules 
always install their binaries into the "vendorbin" directory, so I think 
if we just conditionally put the symlink in "bin" into place, then we'll 
be okay.  We just need to modify the perllink script to not overwrite 
the file in "bin" if it's not a symlink.
