Keep it. I am 99% sure this marks the associated IMAP.pm file (or the
functions/methods/objects it contains) as being 'blessed'.
If you run
find /usr/lib/perl5/ -name "*.bs" |xargs ls -l
you will see many such *.bs files within your Perl library setup, all
zero length.
I'm not enough of a Perl OO wizard to be sure of the details, though,
can someone else provide a pointer to the perl documentation on this
issue?
