[OE-core] should perl modules go in oe-core? (possibly python and ruby ones too)

Hi,

We've accumulated quite a few perl modules and would like to contribute
some/all of them to oe-core. But I think we'd better ask how everyone
thinks before doing so, since the number of the modules are pretty
large, and the policy may as well apply to python/ruby packages.

Most of the modules are simple cpan recipes. They are easy to maintain,
but do consume *some* manpower.

I think there are a few alternatives.

1. decide on each module on a case-by-case basis.

2. keep all of them in some special layer other than oe-core.

3. everyone maintain what they need in-house.

None of them seems perfect. Is there already some policy?
