location of libperl.dylib and other dylibs

Hi,

I wonder why libperl.dylib ends up under
  $prefix/lib/perl5/5.x.y/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/libperl.dylib
when perl5.x.y is supposed to be binary compatible with perl5.x.z.

And I wonder if anyone has any clue about which packages need a
revbump after a new revision of Perl gets out.

The same question goes to location of files like
$prefix/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Net/Libproxy/Libproxy.dylib

Whenever a minor release gets out all the binary-dependent packages
break. Figuring out which of the thousands of packages need a revbump
is challenging at best.
