Khem Raj 302134bb59 io-compress-lzma-perl,io-compress-perl: Do not mark allarch
These recipes are using target perl install during build so they can not be
allarch, the issue becomes evident when libdir for target the native
build hosts do not match e.g. ppc64 where target libdir is usr/lib64
then the do_configure starts to fail because it can not find
Config_heavy-target.pl script which is part of tatget perl install and
allarch recipes seems to assume libdir defaults to /usr/lib when
accessing it.

I think it can be fixed by perhaps building the missing perl files into
perl native perhaps.

meta-perl
=========
This layer provides commonly-used perl related recipes such as perl libraries
in the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network.

Contents and Help
-----------------

In this section the contents of the layer is listed, along with a short
help for each package.

         -- libdbi-perl --
         The DBI is a database access module for the Perl programming language.
         It defines a set of methods, variables, and conventions that provide
         a consistent database interface, independent of the actual database
         being used.

        -- libdbd-sqlite-perl --
        DBD::SQLite is a Perl DBI driver for SQLite, that includes the entire
        thing in the distribution. So in order to get a fast transaction capable
        RDBMS working for your perl project you simply have to install this
        module, and nothing else.

        usage: there is a test case to show you how it works

        1) vim local.conf:
        ...
        IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " libdbd-sqlite-perl"
        PERL_DBM_TEST = "1"
        ...
        2) build core-image-sato and boot the target

        3) run "sqlite-perl-test.pl" on target. This script includes five
           operations create/insert/update/delete/select to do with a table.

        More information can be found in the recipe's git log.

Dependencies
------------

This layer depends on:

  URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
  branch: master

Adding the meta-perl layer to your build
---------------------------------------

In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
it.

Assuming the meta-perl layer exists at the top-level of your
yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
location of the meta-perl layer to bblayers.conf, along with any
other layers needed. e.g.:

  BBLAYERS ?= " \
    /path/to/oe-core/meta \
    /path/to/layer/meta-perl \

Maintenance
-----------

Send patches / pull requests to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org with
'[meta-perl]' in the subject.

When sending single patches, please using something like:
git send-email -M -1 --to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org --subject-prefix='meta-perl][PATCH'
