No, you're right. /usr/share is supposed to only contain 
architecture-independent data. Applications, libraries etc. do not 
belong in there.

=> vendorlib == /usr/share/perl5 is at least discussworthy.

However, I am now wondering about vendorlib's definition and its 
potential use-cases - Are there any (legitimate) use-cases where 
something would install arch-dependent data into vendorlib?

If the answer to this question is no, then I don't see anything wrong 
with "vendorlib == /usr/share/perl5".
