Yes, the p5-* Makefiles should have a line that says "PERL5_PACKLIST" that
points to a perl-generated file that is a manifest of the files installed
for that module.  bsd.pkg.mk takes that list and appends the contents of
that file (with some changes) to the package PLIST.  When I originally added
that logic to bsd.pkg.mk, I wasn't sure what was the best way to handle the
nonexistent-PLIST case since bsd.pkg.mk always wants one during the install
or package phase.  It seemed simpler just to require the one-line PLISTs.
