Yes, youīre right, thereīs only Perl stuff in it.

And as you assumed, the base module as well as the binary do test the OS and decide what they need (and complain if they donīt find it).

The reasons why wanted to be able to split it up are rational reasons like to make the rpms smaller and fit to the underlying OS, and that this also could be some kind of template for bigger projects.

On the other hand maybe there are some irrational reasons like: It looks like a wonderful, ordering, esthetic thing to me to do it that way. I know there must be some way to do it and it really iches me that I donīt know how...
