Hello,

As of version 5.836-1, the package `perl-libwww' installs some scripts (GET, POST, lwp-request...) in /usr/bin/perlbin/vendor. This directory is not in the default $PATH. These scripts are supposed to be used by end-users.

From the Perl Policy[1], I understand that those scripts should be placed in /usr/bin/vendor_perl; this directory /is/ in the default $PATH, thanks to /etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh (provided by the `perl' package).

Would it be possible to install LWP's scripts in /usr/bin/vendor_perl?
