I'm integrating this into the tree, but I can't decide if I need
to bump PKGREVISION on perl or not.  The issue only affects
NetBSD/alpha (or maybe alpha's generically), and otherwise has
no effect.

And I'd like to avoid a huge churn on non-alpha platforms.

My inclination is not to bump it, as fixes an issue (poor
execution style) on one platform only.

Contrary opinions?
