So is it meant to be used as a Perl library, as a standalone executable,
or both?
If it can be used standalone, the current name is fine. Otherwise,
perhaps “perl-bioperl-minimal”. WDYT?

Why is it needed? At first sight it looks wrong because PERL5LIB is
“owned” by Perl itself.
If there’s an executable that needs to find the libs listed in
‘propagated-inputs’, the best way would be to use ‘wrap-program’, I
think.
