Because perl packages are prefixed with the perl version, it means that
the `lib.getExe` heuristic will never point to the binary name. So we
provide the meta.mainProgram that overrides that, using the original
pname or parsed name. It's not perfect but should yield better results
already.
This reverts commit d0bad145f5.
We don't need this any more, because the generated timestamps are
always set to 1970-01-01.
Reverting this will mean we get man pages for perl programs for free,
because those are generally part of the `install' target.
This involved:
* Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl
* Setting miniperl to take INC from
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that
order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but
it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be
overridden with the cross_perl variant.
* Installing perl-cross's stubs into
$dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version}
* Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm
can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation.
* Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL
... after auto-removing some kinds of files by default.
In some cases I let them be removed and in others I let them be put into
$docdev. That was more due to general indecisiveness on this question
than any reasons in the particular cases.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
* Remove explicit setting of PERL5LIB.
* Use the generic Perl builder for the BerkeleyDB and XML::Parser
modules.
* Prefix all names of Perl modules with `perl-' (in the generic Perl
builder).

* MythTV: the setup program works :-).
* Added XmlTV. This requires a huge number of Perl modules, so...
* Added a generic builder for Perl modules. I'm lazy so the modules
are defined directly in all-packages-generic.nix. The generic
builder also patches Perl scripts to include a hard-coded Perl
module search path (i.e., similar to an RPATH in ELF executables).
