They were mostly subsumed in the above sentence.  That these perl-* 
packages are captured inside other packages instead of free-stannding 
like other CPAN modules isn't making a difference to me.

This is using Perl in a plugin, so it never touches the "official" Perl 
directories.  I don't know how to check for uses of the perl DLL in 
package search, so I just looked for installations into the vendor 
library directories.

Now that you mention it, I seem to remmeber it has an embedded perl 
interpreter.

Installs under /usr/share/texinfo and seems to use captive Perl 
distributions, maybe we should change that (i.e. move perl-libintl-perl, 
perl-Text-Unidecode etc. to their own CPAN derived package).

We seem to have more packages using embedded perl or plugins than I thought.
