 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?
