OK, yes I agree.

OK, that makes sense.

Well, it's not that hard to go through all the .pl-files manually and
change the path to where perl is located.
Would be nice to have a script that automatically detected the perl
binary through using which or something like that but that wouldn't be
portable and work on other OS:es like Windows, I guess.
I did get a problem with my NetBSD 7 animal not accepting the
SSL-certificate (Let's Encrypt) that https://git.postgresql.org uses.
I got the error:
Git mirror failure:
Cloning into bare repository '/home/pgbf/buildroot/pgmirror.git'...
fatal: unable to access
'https://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git/';: SSL certificate
problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
I managed to solve that in NetBSD but following the following guide:
https://www.cambus.net/installing-ca-certificates-on-netbsd/
what that does is basically installing the mozilla-rootscerts on to the
system and using it as default.
After that it worked fine again. But I can imagine on older OS:es
where you can't easily upgrade the CA-certs on the system it could be a
big problem. HTTPS and the cert business is so broken it's not even
funny imho.
