lang/perl5 does not create nor install shared perl library.  The reason
for this is that there are not many programs which embed perl, and that
the perl binary itself is slightly faster when linked with libperl.a.
It is not something I would fight over, though, meaning that lang/perl5
can be changed to produce libperl.so, if that is what people want.
