Yes, I see that doing this for multiple perl versions would be painful.
I suggest considering Debian Stable (stretch), which is using Perl
5.024, and possibly also Ubuntu 16.04 LTS which is on Perl 5.022.

Currently, as my instructions  earlier in this thread show, I am copying
binaries into /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Bin/.  

If you would be willing to consider a pull request, I am currently in
the process of trying to make the existing build scripts run on aarch64,
but with a "do no harm" philosophy to ensure all other platforms keep
building as they do today.  See for example: 'here'
(https://github.com/crazzell/slimserver-vendor/commit/a381441dde084bdddce360a13e4040d7a156e64e).
Notice the function refresh_config takes no action at unless the
platform is Linux and the ARCH is aarch64. In that sense it is hopefully
safe, but your review comments would be welcome. I am doing the same for
the other buildme-linux scripts as well (work in progress).

Charles.
