Sounds like a good plan to me (this helps to mitigate the double-Perl-version
problem.)

rationale for Chart::Base install change: we used to specify 0.99b because 1.01
was broken.  Current version is 2.x, and works fine, and it makes this patch
easier. :)

Patch v1

need review from a win32 type, since I'm touching the Chart::Base install

AFAICT, this is as good as it gets. However, as noted on developers@ earlier, I
don't think there is a Chart::Base PPD available for 5.8. It might be worth
relnoting?
