Uhm but that won't lead to rebuilds...

You can use the revbump to change the dependency to the new perl version, mainly
to make that perl package a leaf. It's not strictly required, but my personal
opinion is to do that to enable users to get rid of packages they don't need
anymore (and at least I don't like to remove build dependencies, as they will be
pulled in again later anyway.)
