Thanks Willie, that gave me a great list.  Very cool command.  Almost
all the orphaned stuff in /usr/lib/perl5 is either in:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.2

with corresponding but not orphaned contents in:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2

or the orphaned stuff is in:

/usr/lib/perl5/5.12.2/x86_64-linux

Do the orphaned files sound OK to delete in this case?  Is there a
slick way to do so?
