perl

• Depends on mawk
• Depends on gdbm or db on Alpine and Arch
• Do not specify scriptdir or other dirs that might change where binaries are being installed (perl binaries and scripts are expected to be in /usr/bin)
• -Ud_fpos64_t and -Ud_off64_t undefine symbols in configure on Alpine and Clear (musl defines them; it is better to let the build system decide)
• Z_SOLO on Alpine is used to compile and use zlib without external libraries
• Check large file and usenm support
• Check installman1dir and installman3dir
• Modules manpages are being removed on Adelie
• PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 uses default values when answering questions
