The idea was install all modules into core directory /usr/lib64/perl5 or /usr/share/perl5. The vendorarch directory /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perlshould beempty. If core and vendor are the same as it is in F-14, then it's non-existent module looked up twice in the same path without luck. So, my suggestion is change all modules to install into core directories and leave vendorarch empty for personal RPMs, which also cut down time for looking up modules. (Empty vendorarch toke less then core twice). There were questions in some new reviews if it's good idea to replace vendor with core, because they could be needed in future. I'm looking forward your comments/ideas.
