If you've got dynamic loading the .so (or equivalent files) go in the
architecture dependent libraries. As do all the modules compiled from
extensions (whether statically or dynamicly linked), a copy of all .h files
so that you can compile further extensions without needing to keep the perl
source tree, and the perl configuration for that architecture (Config.pm, which
I believe contains a compiled config.sh)

Hmm. I think it is correct that perl will be identical on any ARM (32 bit ?)
platform. However, I think you can achieve this by answering the questions
about "where do you want the architecture dependent libraries to go?" as
blah-blah-arm rather than blah-blah-armv4l at ./Configure time.
