Thank you for adopting the package! I have used the generic perl_base as perl5_030 is a virtual package perl_base provides using that new keyword, although both names seem to be in /etc/setup/installed.db. What are the best approaches for non-perl and perl packages? I could see perhaps the generic is better for non-perl packages, and the specific for perl packages? -- Take care.
