why fully versionned vendorlib vendorbin and vendorarch?

[Baptiste Daroussin]

Hi,

I can't get why we used versionned vendorbin, vendorarch and vendorlib 
with perl it seems to only provide us problems: need of 
perl-after-upgrade, reinstallation of most p5- things after even a 
simple 5.12.3 -> 5.12.4 upgrade?

why not follow what is done by default by the build system and use a 
string (not versionned for those variable) like perl5_vendors or 
something like that?

That would also allow user to upgrade from 5.12 to 5.14 almost 
painless. if really changing from 5.12 to 5.14 can lead to majors 
incompatibility problems (which I'm not convinced at all) we could use 
perl5.12 but not including the minor version which still is not that 
good to me but way better.

regards,
Bapt
