Well -- There is certainly no reason for that other than maybe not
having to worry about the hastle of getting the dev files. The XS
stuff is usually a lot safer to muddle with than the pure perl stuff
simply because the XS learning curve precludes the Debian Perl guys.
Again, they have a strong tendency to mess up clean perl code because
it is easy for them to do so. As was previously mentioned by example
libxml-sax-perl. A lot of Perl people use Debian, I use it. I love
apt/dpkg works great for my needs. I'm by all means an "Ubuntu fanboy"
everyone in family is running it. I simply disapprove of taking
something knowingly breaking it, and publishing it as if nothing
happened.
