It's been documented:
6.30_02 Fri Sep 1 15:03:55 EDT 2006
...
* Split INSTALLSCRIPT into INSTALLSCRIPT, INSTALLSITESCRIPT and
INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT so it now honors INSTALLDIRS. [bleadperl@26536]
Hoever, it broke
perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLSCRIPT=/where/i/want/scripts
It no longer places scripts where I wanted.
It is a documented incompatible change.
My point was that, if you want to upgrade modules in bugfix-only perl
branch, it gets not bugfix-only anymore, because modules change.
There simply seems to be no such thing as a "stable branch".
