This PR adds a new
perlpackage. Unlike the version of Perl instd.toolchain(), this one is meant to follow the upstream version more directly. Also, having a standalone package means we can do tricks like create a "Perl virtual environment" and install packages into it in a composable way (similar to what we did with Python forasciinemain #127)For some reason, the Perl build failed unless there was at least one additional locale available at build time, so I used
localegento create a locale that Perl can find during the build. I usedC.UTF-8because that seemed like a pretty common one.
