[2008-07-03 15:53]   This version of perl follows the new perl directory hierarchy (see
[2008-07-03 15:53]   http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Perl_Policy).
[2008-07-03 15:53] 
[2008-07-03 15:53]   - The perl package and its modules install in the core_perl directories
[2008-07-03 15:53]   - Perl modules provided by Arch Linux install in vendor_perl directories
[2008-07-03 15:53]   - CPAN/CPANPLUS installs should be placed in site_perl directories
[2008-07-03 15:53]   - Older modules in the 'current' directory should still work
[2008-07-03 15:53]   - Programs with embedded perl interpreters need to be rebuilt
[2008-07-03 15:53] 
[2008-07-03 15:53]   Users of the CPAN or CPANPLUS shells should modify the configuration
[2008-07-03 15:53]   to use the site_perl directories.  Under the CPAN shell use:
[2008-07-03 15:53]     o conf makepl_arg INSTALLDIRS=site
[2008-07-03 15:53]     o conf mbuildpl_arg installdirs=site
[2008-07-03 15:53]   Under the CPANPLUS shell:
[2008-07-03 15:53]     s conf buildflags installdirs=site
[2008-07-03 15:53]     s conf makemakerflags INSTALLDIRS=site
[2008-07-03 15:53]   Then save the configuration.
[2008-07-03 15:53] 
[2008-07-03 15:53]   The following official packages can be removed since the modules are
[2008-07-03 15:53]   now included in the standard perl library:
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-archive-tar  perl-compress-raw-zlib perl-compress-zlib
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-extutils-cbuilder  perl-io-compress-base perl-io-compress-zlib
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-io-zlib  perl-module-pluggable perl-pod-escapes  perl-pod-simple
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-module-build  perl-version
[2008-07-03 15:53] 
[2008-07-03 15:53]   These community packages are also included in the standard perl library:
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-archive-extract  perl-cpanplus perl-digest-sha  perl-file-fetch
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-extutils-parsexs  perl-ipc-cmd perl-locale-maketext-simple
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-log-message  perl-log-message-simple perl-module-corelist
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-module-load  perl-module-load-conditional perl-module-loaded
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-module-pluggable  perl-object-accessor perl-params-check
[2008-07-03 15:53]     perl-term-ui  perl-time-piece

Isnt that kind of long for a post install message?
Sure perl is bloody important & people should know but this is far too long.
Especially since perl already provides all those.
