The perl man page generation script has an unnecessary file type check
that causes no man pages to be generated on DragonFly and possibly other
platforms.
After properly identifying the template file, it checks to see if it's type
nroff, troff, or groff. On DragonFly it is type "ASCII". Just skip the
check completely, the templates were extracted from the verified tarball.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
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.
