Many pure perl packages are not noarch just because of that
.packlist file in %perl_vendorarch. Is that file good for anything
in an rpm managed system?

it is there to make "perlivp" succeed - which is required for upstream to
accept bugreports (I think).

Ie could it be savely omitted from
packages?

it could, but you have to convince the "perl" maintainer to accept a patch for
perlivp ;)

Some distros (Debian iirc?) strips those files.
