has anyone been using svn externals for custom perl packages?
i'm in this situation: 
repository a
myPackage/trunk/
myPackage/trunk/myPackage.pm
myPackage/trunk/myPackage/ #

[download]
repository b
myWebApp/trunk/
myWebApp/trunk/lib/
myWebApp/trunk/lib/myPackage.pm
myWebApp/trunk/lib/myPackage/

[download]
if you don't follow... i have a repsoitory for a shared package that i use across several webapps.

right now, i just copy the package into each webapp. i'd like to use svn:externals - actually , I'd LOVE to use externals, but externals only works on files, not folders. perl package namespace has the layout 
package.pm #file
package/ #folder

[download]
so i haven't figured out a way to let me use my own perl packages as svn externals. does anyone have a clue?
