I haven't looked at the code or tested, but Type: perl in a split is
useless as type is for the buildprocess, splits aren't used till
install phase.
on the other hand updatePOD should be avail to splits but updatePOD now
uses type perl for the version. sorta chicken and the egg. so really
there are a few discrepancies with this, in some functions it's
inherited like in the dep engine, but in others like remove it's not.
The reason for this is unknown to me, though I do believe it shouldn't
be inherited at all. It maybe have been this way for bootstrapping?
