 It is probably too late to bump PKGREVISIONs now for the modules. But I
 had the problem again today.
 
 The following is paraphrased from the packages list from February.
 
 Bernd E. suggested an idea:
 
 Have the packages include the perl version (PKGNAME_NOREV) in the package
 name and then depend on that version, for example:
 
   p586-libwww-5.76nb2 (instead of p5-libwww-5.76nb2)
 
 Frederick B. mentioned he thinks the "vendorlib" could be set to
 something like "${LOCALBASE}/lib/perl5/pkg" (which would be used for the
 @INC path).
 
 Grant B. said we must bump the PKGREVISION for all perl modules when
 perl is updated or the hardcoded paths will be wrong. See PR #28619.
