To maybe answer my own question: are these comments addressed to
people making other changes to perl/Makefile.PL, rather than people
adding new modules?

That could make sense --- it would just be a change in purpose from
the original comments.  It also means there's no reminder when adding
new modules to list them in perl/Makefile any more, but that's
probably inevitable as long as we don't have a perl coding style
document.

Hoping that clarifies,
Jonathan
