As extra packages? Naa.
I'm just testing the new 5.10.1-1 with the new compiler, and have some 
unexpected problems. The previous gcc-4.3 was fine for perl.
I could upload the previous 5.10.1 version, which was fine, but I don't 
know how this plays with the new gcc-4.

If anyone needs newer packages, cpan is your friend. That's why included 
all the vendor modules. To be able to update by yourself via cpan.
