+Subject: [PATCH] correct libperl regex
+
+The module expects the libperl library's format (from $Config{libperl})
+to be versionless, just simply libperl.so. However this value in the
+OE builds is versioned, causing some issues.
+
+The module transforms this value into a linker flag, and tries to link
+with the library. The transformation is simple: cut off the "lib" from
+the start, and everything after the last dot.
+
+With versionless version, the transformation works: libperl.so -> perl
+
+However with versioned library it looks like this:
+libperl.so.5.99.9 -> perl.so.5.99
+which is just wrong.
+
+This patch changes this transformation in way that throws away everything
+after the first dot (instead of the last one).

Add missing dependencies. Also, fixing the tests have surfaced an actual bug: the module expects unversioned perl library to be present on the system (or at least present in Perl's $Config{libperl}), however the OE Perl build has a versioned library, which causes final linking to fail. A patch to correct this is part of this change, and it has been submitted upstream also.
