Indeed, but even fully noarch modules go in /usr/lib instead of
/usr/share.
It is fine for mixed arch/noarch to be in %_libdir, but noarch
should be in %_datadir.
I wasn't arguing for/against that, just explaining what was meant by
keeping modules together. I'm sure upstream would have a lovely
conversation about putting things in /usr/share/
Even more fun to do that for Perl.
