Sorry, hit send too soon--I should comment that there is always a risk
when using the --force option, and you do so at your own risk. However,
in the caes of perl modules, every conflict that *I've* run into has
always only been with man pages, and it hasn't caused an issue--for
me--but pleaes do be careful when using --force.
