Bug#499128: no re.pl installed with libdevel-repl-perl

For what it's worth, here's a comment from 'mst' the author of the
module.

"the .pl in re.pl shouldn't be considered to be a suffix, it's simply
part of the name of the script"

btw, re.pl runs OK for me, i.e no problem finding 'setup_commands' in 
Devel/REPL/Plugin/Commands.pm
