Description Richard Purdie 2016-11-16 13:21:40 UTC 
perl modules should be allarch in many cases. There were patches a while ago which made some not allarch due to the fact the files were installed into /usr/lib/perl/xxx and this isn't multilib safe.

https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/46429/

Rather than not mark them as allarch we should install arch independent perl modules into /usr/share/perl.

Inherited from Anibal. It needs analysis and review the target version and milestone.

Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99
