please check also if this is broken with lixFromNixpkgs.

concretely, to fix:

submit CL to lix to fix our perl bindings packaging
submit PR to nixpkgs to fix it in our nixpkgs packaging of our perl bindings ..... is there any? i have no idea.

hmmm this should probably be considered a bug indeed. normally i wouldn't give a damn about whether we're compatible with whatever cppnix did to their derivation (as normally it only matters if you're trying to link c++ code to lix which will require much more work than that) but Perl bindings not being available via the correct path is eminently fixable. please check also if this is broken with lixFromNixpkgs. concretely, to fix: - submit CL to lix to fix our perl bindings packaging - submit PR to nixpkgs to fix it in our nixpkgs packaging of our perl bindings ..... is there any? i have no idea.

we apparently need to package our perl bindings in nixpkgs also: #976

06c1e229ac okay this is probably a waste of time anyway. nevertheless i fixed the packaging because that was a problem if we want to distribute e.g. lix hydra.
