Changes to perl-base contents for 5.6.1
I would like to trim the perl-base package a little for the 5.6.1
packages.
Specifially I would like to drop the following modules from perl-base:
POSIX
This is huge, ~1/3 of the total size of perl-base. While it may
be possible to move some or all of the autoloaded subroutines to
perl, I'd prefer to keep it together.
I've seen some cases in dpkg where it is used for errno constants,
and have submitted a patch to use the Errno module instead.
Are there other cases for this module that people know of?
tmpnam perhaps?
Data::Dumper
This was principally included for debconf, which no longer uses
it.
Regards,
