I think this feature should be everywhere or nowhere.

See perlembed(1) manual. There is ExtUtils::Embed module to make it easily. Therefore I forecast that Perl comunity will be reluctant to add pkgconfig file. But you can try your luck there. And speaking for Fedora Perl maintainers, as I said, I don't think extending Fedora only is helpfull from global point of view. I don't want to start emerging upstream projects that builds on Fedora only. -- Petr
