It was discussed some time ago and it has been decided that we distribute
only binary byte compiled files. It is the same case as in Java language,
where we distribute only *.class files (byte compiled) and not sources at all.
If you really need sources you can download .src.rpm.

I think, when Perl arrives with its own virtual machine and byte compiler
then we will distribute only binaries, too.
