Getopt-Long problem

[Terry Chan]

Getopt-Long is NOT required for lin to work. It's never been installed
on any of my Lunar boxes. I have no idea why you are even trying to
install this perl module, unless you are trying to use the razor-agents
module.

Yes, perl modules are still quite a problem when upgrading to a major
perl update, like 5.8.x to 5.10.x.
