There's been some amount of talk on one of the sekrit cabal TeX mailing lists
about getting rid of it. I can't see where you'd want to use it. To locate
modules and shared objects? No, far better (and probably actually faster) to
search a list of paths as we're doing right now. It also means you don't have
to trust all the users and packages out there to update their Perl lsrs
every time something changes.
