To make a minimal perl distribution, it's useful to look at
F<t/lib/commonsense.t>.
-=head2 Bundle dual life modules in ext/
+=head2 Move dual-life pod/*.PL into ext
-For maintenance (and branch merging) reasons, it would be useful to move
-some architecture-independent dual-life modules from lib/ to ext/, if this
-has no negative impact on the build of perl itself.
-
-As part of this, we need to move F<pod/*.PL> into their respective directories
+Nearly all the dual-life modules have been moved to F<ext>. However, we
+still need to move F<pod/*.PL> into their respective directories
in F<ext/>. They're referenced by (at least) C<plextract> in F<Makefile.SH>
and C<utils> in F<win32/Makefile> and F<win32/makefile.ml>, and listed
explicitly in F<win32/pod.mak>, F<vms/descrip_mms.template> and F<utils.lst>
