#!/usr/bin/perl =pod Run this script from the perllib directory, where vendor_perl and site_perl directories reside. (in my case it's /usr/lib/perl5) The script will output the modules (.pm files) located in both subdirs. The branch (site_perl or vendor_perl) will be output for the older module (which you thus might want to remove).
