If the want to do that, they can use pkgproto, or even my mksvr4pkg script,
which uses the existig .packlist files. In fact, the .packlist files
provide most of the information that is needed for packaging, and they are
already a standard part of perl.

I split it because it was too big to fit into the Solaris miniroot (install
boot) image. It was arbitrary, and I would like to see a standard way of
doing this.
I don't use the sunfreeware one because a) it isn't built with our compilers
b) it doesn't have all the patches in the Solaris version c) it doesn't
include our extra modules d) it isn't configured to go under /usr/perl5 and
e) it isn't integrated into the Solaris build. Other than that, it is fine ;-)
