Package: perl
Version: 5.001-3

perl's postinst does not prompt the user when warning about running
perlconfig.  Wouldn't it be better if it said "... press any key to
continue: "?

Odd occurance: I did a `dpkg --auto --install --no-also-select ./` in
the devel directory, and dpkg unpacked an configured everything
(correctly), but perl's postinst failed to detect
/usr/include/linux/kernel.h, and warned me that it was not going to
run perlconfig.  Well, I've looked at the source package, and it does
not create/destroy the /usr/include/linux, and source was unpacked
before perl's postinst was called...  So I can't figure out why it
didn't detect the header file before.  I've re-run the postinst, and
it works again.  Any ideas on what might have happened?
