For future reference, there are more.
They were mostly subsumed in the above sentence. That these perl-*
packages are captured inside other packages instead of free-stannding
like other CPAN modules isn't making a difference to me.
The following are mine and are
ready for upload:
gnumeric
This is using Perl in a plugin, so it never touches the "official" Perl
directories. I don't know how to check for uses of the perl DLL in
package search, so I just looked for installations into the vendor
library directories.
hexchat
ditto
openbabel
I don't find that even now that you said it... embedded perl?
rxvt-unicode
Now that you mention it, I seem to remmeber it has an embedded perl
interpreter.
vim
Can't find it, embedded?
zbar
ditto
And the following which belong to others:
openldap
Can't find it.
texinfo
Installs under /usr/share/texinfo and seems to use captive Perl
distributions, maybe we should change that (i.e. move perl-libintl-perl,
perl-Text-Unidecode etc. to their own CPAN derived package).
weechat
Plugin/embedded.
znc
ditto
We seem to have more packages using embedded perl or plugins than I thought.
