Re: path/version mismatch between packages perl and perl-libwin32

the packages perl and perl-libwin32 seem to use incompatible paths.
We know. perl-libwin32 cannot be used with perl-5.8.6.
You have to install it by yourself via CPAN or wait for the official
package update.
perl-win32-gui will be seperate.
For the simple Win32 FFI module (Win32::API) I'm not sure yet, but the
other two (FFI and C::DynaLib) do work fine with callbacks.
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:

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

Win32::OLE"
