The reason is that Perl modules are installed under /usr/lib/perl5/...
So what? On 64bit, that directory is /usr/lib64/perl5/...
No, that's not correct for opensuse. We always use /usr/lib/perl5.
Yes, sorry, confused with Python (which is in /usr/lib64/python).
Nevertheless, the logic still applies to Perl, because every package (even those that only contain
pure Perl code) has a .packlist file under
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/
(this one for x86_64)
Hence, and only because of that, Perl packages are all arch-specific (= never noarch).
The .packlist is not critical though, and that's why some perl packages may work even if it's not
the correct package architecture, if they only contain pure Perl code.
cheers
