Are these perllocal.pod files really useless?
In Debian this problem is filed as <https://bugs.debian.org/835815>.
Apparently upstream ended up using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH:
https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/pull/279
Should we do that instead? Or are perllocal.pod pointless anyway?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
