The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.

IPC::Cmd allows you to run commands, interactively if desired,
platform independent but have them still work.
The can_run function can tell you if a certain binary is installed
and if so where, whereas the run function can actually execute any
of the commands you give it and give you a clear return value, as
well as adhere to your verbosity settings.
