perl-cleaner is now *mostly* redundant. Its only residual use is |
| 8 |

| 9 |
provided early enough for them to work.( ~1% of cases ) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |

increase the number of situations where subgraphs of the dependency |
| 13 |
graph that don't require C based extensions may continue to work while |
