The opposite of this statement, "perl developers have the nasty habit
of aggegrating all kinds of technically unrelated or only losely
related stuff into a single tarball. Depending on your needs, large
parts of that may be omitted from any properly functioning perl
install", is - of course - just as true or as false.
