Ok, but if irssi is linking with a specific version of perl's dynamic library, it needs to declare a dependency on that specific version of perl, and not on perl5. perl5's default variant may have been recently changed, but users are always free to select a different variant. We don't want users who do exercise that freedom to have a broken irssi.
