6 I was going to point out that when we had a vanilla @INC was when we had
7 problems with perl-core modules (as they now are) overwriting core modules,
8 which really broke things when unmerged...but that was before we were forcing
9 everything to install into vendor as well...so yeah, that might just work :)

11 But then it begs the question, why not just go with vanilla at that point? (I
12 know there has to be an argument against this, I just can't remember what it
13 might be.)
