[OE-core] [PATCH] perl-sanity: support cpan versions of core modules

[Burton, Ross]

Something here isn't working quite right:

WARNING: core-image-base-1.0-r0 do_image_qa: /usr/bin/cpan is a broken link
etc etc

/usr/bin/cpan is a symlink to /usr/bin/cpan.perl, which isn't in the
image.  In fact, it's in perl-misc:

perl-misc:
        /usr/bin/corelist.perl
        /usr/bin/cpan.perl
        /usr/bin/enc2xs.perl
        /usr/bin/encguess.perl
        /usr/bin/h2ph.perl
        /usr/bin/h2xs.perl
        /usr/bin/instmodsh.perl
        /usr/bin/json_pp.perl
        /usr/bin/libnetcfg.perl
        /usr/bin/perlbug
        /usr/bin/perldoc
        /usr/bin/perlivp
        /usr/bin/perlthanks
        /usr/bin/piconv.perl
        /usr/bin/pl2pm.perl
        /usr/bin/pod2html.perl
        /usr/bin/pod2man.perl
        /usr/bin/pod2text.perl
        /usr/bin/pod2usage.perl
        /usr/bin/podchecker.perl
        /usr/bin/podselect.perl
        /usr/bin/prove.perl
        /usr/bin/ptar.perl
        /usr/bin/ptardiff.perl
        /usr/bin/ptargrep.perl
        /usr/bin/shasum.perl
        /usr/bin/splain.perl
        /usr/bin/xsubpp.perl
        /usr/bin/zipdetails.perl

Can you fix the FILES so that the binaries go into the right packages?
