Actually unlike python, the perl directory layout doesn't prevent you from creating noarch packages, because it's /usr/lib/perl5 everywhere and the arch-dependent files go to /usr/lib/perl5/$arch-$os-blah-blah. Just there aren't many (read: zero) noarch perl packages in the distribution :-)
there are zero python noarch aswell. and zero ruby noarch. e.g. ruby could do the same as perl. always install into /usr/lib. the arch dependent part is encapsulated in a subdir.
vendordir: /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby vendorlibdir: /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8 vendorarchdir: /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
Architecture independent files must go in /usr/share
