I might have missed this in the email thread but why does the change,
which I've seen at r12020, hard-code the version number and not use
the entity &perl-version-min; ?

The thread explains why the addition of the "perl-version-min"
subdirectory is required. but why the hard-coding of 5.32
when that's what the entity value would be expanded to,
given what's in packages.ent, vis:
<!ENTITY perl-version-major "5">
<!ENTITY perl-version-minor "32">
<!ENTITY perl-version-patch "0">
<!ENTITY perl-version-min "&perl-version-major;.&perl-version-minor;">
What happens when Perl5 moves to 5.33, 5.34 later versions?
Apologies if I have missed something,
Kevin
