Well, what I am observing is the opposite of what you describe.

f15-built modules land in %{_libdir}/perl5/vendor_perl
while
f14-built modules land in %{_libdir}/perl5,

That's why I am wondering - Has a bug crept into perl's setup?

How comes, f14 already did so and f15 has stopped doing so?

I am confused.
