In the long run, you'd be able to drop the versioned dependencies on perl,
right? Because now, with versioned vendorarch directories, the perlapi
dependency will do everything you need.
In fact, as soon as Perl 5.20 is the default, or for any packages that
depend on it, I think you can drop the versioned perl dependencies
immediately.
