IIRC, we kept (some of) them separate in perl 5.6.  While preparing
5.8.0, my goals included:

* allow coexistence of different perl versions (I was hoping, that some
  day RPM will start to handle multiple packages with the same name
  nicely -- silly me)
* "poldek -i perl" installs whatever modules come with the perl tarball.

Right now, both are fulfilled.  I'm not too convinced if the first one
is actually useful, though.  Installing separate perl in /usr/local is
way easier, than dealing with RPM.

What would you like to strip?


PS  I consider it to be rude: publishing e-mail without asking first.
