perl: install libperl.so using $(INSTALL_BIN) to enable stripping

2026-06-08T14:41:45Z

Install libperl.so with executable permissions (0755) instead of copying it as-is. This allows the OpenWrt build system to recognize the library as a binary and automatically run the "strip" utility on it. Stripping removes unnecessary debugging metadata and helper symbols that are only needed for development but not for running Perl on the router. This change reduces the installed size of libperl.so on the device: - Before (not stripped): 3.7 MB (3,929,652 bytes) ``` root@turris:~# file /usr/lib/perl5/5.40/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/perl5/5.40/CORE/libperl.so: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, with debug_info, not stripped ``` - After (stripped): 3.5 MB (3,674,081 bytes) ``` root@turris:~# file /usr/lib/perl5/5.40/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/perl5/5.40/CORE/libperl.so: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, no section header ``` Saving ~255 KB of flash storage space on target devices.

perl: fix version check in test-version.sh

2026-06-07T23:17:41Z

Enable version checking for the main perl package. Previously, the version check for perl was skipped. Add a check that runs perl -v and verifies that the output matches PKG_VERSION. Signed-off-by: Josef Schlehofer

perl: fix miniperl missing execute permission (CI fix)

2026-05-20T17:09:52Z

On some build systems, the miniperl binary is created without execute permission (errno 126 when running it as /bin/sh). This breaks building the mro extension and cascades to all dependent packages. Fix by ensuring chmod +x on miniperl after the main build step. This matches how many other build systems handle this same issue. Signed-off-by: Alexandru Ardelean

perl: fix dependency issues in archive, pod and test

2026-05-20T13:22:53Z

perlbase-archive, perlbase-pod and perlbase-test had executable utilities with missing dependencies. Fixes: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/29425 Fixes: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/29426 Fixes: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/29427 As discussed in PR 29463 https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/29463 those are either non-working or useless on OpenWrt, therefore they have been removed.

perl: add test-version.sh to skip version check

2026-05-14T12:39:33Z

perlbase-archive, perlbase-pod, and perlbase-test install Perl script wrappers (ptar, pod2man, prove, etc.) that do not output the OpenWrt package version string (5.40.0), causing generic version check failures in CI. Signed-off-by: Alexandru Ardelean
