Initial Comment:
I wonder why perl completion in current git is -o nospace?  It seems to work better for me without it, i.e. as plain "complete -F _perl perl".

Message:
A remaining of pure-perl completion handler, where each part of module completion was handled as a separation completion for bash:
perl -MFil<TAB -> perl -MFile::
perl -MFile::<TAB> -> (lots of packages in File::* namespace)

Whereas nice and efficient for completing module names, it broke other kind of completions, such as directory name for perl -I <TAB>

I just fixed it.
