Yes. The bindings should just be the perl interface and its point is to
provide documentation via rustdoc, and the rustdocs should tell you how
to use it *from perl*.

The rest would be additional code we need to provide the perl interface
for the external crates.

You don't need to separate everything. My point was that it does *not*
contain perl *binding* specifics. As for being *perl* specific, I mean,
the entire `pve-rs` crate *is* perl specific right now...
