The perl stuff consists of 9 .pm files, 14 .bs/.ix files and 7 .so files 
linked to libraries in the main package, totally 30 files and 464k

The python stuff consists of 4 .pyc files, 4 .py files and a .so file 
linked to libraries in the main package (plus 4 text files which contain 
configurational info), totally 13 files and 84k.

The main package consists of 560 files (including perl and python 
files), totally 9160k
