Empty files in perl installation


This is not really a programming question, but can probably only be answered by a programmer...
I've noticed that some/most/all? installations of perl contain a buch of empty files -maybe all with the file extension '.bs'. Are these placeholder files which need to be present for perl to work properly? Or can they be eliminated?

Thanks for the tip -I've signed up and asked there. Hopefully some guru will answer here first.
