?S:inc_version_list:
?S:	This variable specifies the list of subdirectories in over
?S:	which perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically
?S:	search when adding directories to @INC.  The elements in
?S:	the list are separated by spaces.  This is only useful
?S:	if you have a perl library directory tree structured like the
?S:	default one.  See INSTALL for how this works.  The versioned
?S:	site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005, so that is the
?S:	lowest possible value.
?S:	
?S:	This list includes architecture-dependent directories back to
?S:	version $api_versionstring (e.g. 5.5.640) and
?S:	architecture-independent directories all the way back to
?S:	5.005.
?S:.
?S:inc_version_list_init:
?S:     This variable holds the same list as inc_version_list, but
?S:	each item is enclosed in double quotes and separated by commas, 
?S:	suitable for use in the PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST initialization.
?S:.
?C:PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST:
?C:	This variable specifies the list of subdirectories in over
?C:	which perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically
?C:	search when adding directories to @INC, in a format suitable
?C:	for a C initialization string.  See the inc_version_list entry
?C:	in Porting/Glossary for more details.

In order to ease the process of upgrading, this version of perl 
can be configured to use modules built and installed with earlier 
versions of perl that were installed under $prefix.  Specify here
the list of earlier versions that this version of perl should check.
If Configure detected no earlier versions of perl installed under
$prefix, then the list will be empty.  Answer 'none' to tell perl
to not search earlier versions.

The default should almost always be sensible, so if you're not sure,
just accept the default.
