[OE-core] YAPQ: Perl RPM2 module versus rpm's PACKAGECONFIG[perl]?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  ok, this should be the last perl issue i have for a bit ... the last
OE perl module i was after was RPM2 (Perl bindings for the RPM Package
Manager API):

  https://metacpan.org/pod/RPM2

but a side question -- i can see the OE rpm recipe file, including
this snippet:

 # Perl modules are not built, but they could be enabled fairly easily
 # the perl module creation and installation would need to be patched.
 # (currently has host perl contamination issues)
 WITH_PERL = "--with-perl --without-perlembed --without-perl-urpm"
 WITHOUT_PERL = "--without-perl --without-perl-urpm"
 PACKAGECONFIG[perl] = "${WITH_PERL},${WITHOUT_PERL},perl,"

so ...

  1) i know nothing about RPM2's API, is that the same as what i would
     get from rpm being PACKAGECONFIG'ed with perl?

  2) in any event, is rpm's PACKAGECONFIG[perl] still broken so that i
     can't use it, anyway?

that's about it.
