When compiling koffice, configure complains about missing
perl strict.pm:

This task depends upon
FS#7530 - negligent symlink creating post_install script of
perl5
FS#7543 - Perl doesn't install correctly from the installer
(?)
This task blocks these from closing
FS#8109 - Pacman 3.1 Release Roadmap
FS#8374 - Perl Policy Bug Collector

Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: Symlink farm has been removed, and pacman should handle this better now

i mean if packages install to hardcoded dirs like 5.8.8 instead of current directory such stuff could happen.
perl.install file looks fine to me and hasn't changed since 18 months.
bug 7484. We may do some backporting of changes from 3.1 to get this fixed in the 3.0 branch if at all possible, but it isn't an easy set of changes.bug 7530
