I'm sorry, but I'd vote against this proposal. It's equally possible to
have two incompatible installations of Perl (like 64-bit vs. 32-bit or
threaded vs. unthreaded) that carry the same version number.

What you are proposing *should* be solved by the layout of the
directories within the top directory that PERL5LIB points to.

Best regards,
Steffen
