BTW if your going to edit the above files I think theres another bug,
after reading the perllink manpage I don't think the perlink command
should be run if ${PERL5_PACKLIST} is an empty string (or if the file it
points to don't exist) with the exeption of perl its self.

You could try the following above the main perllink command:
@PERL5_COMMENT@${TEST} -n "${PERL5_PACKLIST}" -a -f "${PERL5_PACKLIST}" &&

The @PERL5_COMMENT@ comments out the test for the perl pkg.
