Line 53 of /usr/share/perl5/RT/User_Overlay.pm is:

    use Digest::MD5;

So I guess making that visible as .../Digest/Perl/MD5.pm is
going to provide the correct thing.  The question remains: why
does it want it under that name when the "use" statement seems
to be asking for something that should be found (based on the
reported value of @INC) in /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/Digest/MD5.pm
without any additional effort?
