Comment(by br...@…):
On 1 -- cpanp-run-perl is definitely a wrapper script. I have no idea
what it's supposed to wrap, though the perldelta page ("perldoc perldelta"
;-) ) says it's a "helper for CPANPLUS operation", and isn't intended for
direct use.
On 4 -- libgcov.a is (according to libgcov.c) "routines required for
instrumenting a program". No idea where the archive is used, and that
description is mostly useless.
From the source of e2initrd_helper, it looks like its sole purpose in life
is to print the FS type (ext2 / ext3 / ext4) of a given filesystem from
/etc/fstab, given either a device name (/dev/sdXY) or label (LABEL=xxxx or
UUID=yyyy). This output requires the -r option; without that option, the
only thing that it seems to do is indicate whether it was able to find an
FS using the argument (using its exit status to do that).
