New description:

 When attempting to build this port with the default perl5 installed as
 `+perl5_32` or `+perl5_34`, it fails due to missing core components like
 `Pod::Parser`.

 It's understandable that we don't yet have a complete selection of p5.xx
 ports for 5.32 and 5.34, since such ports are still being added. However,
 should our core perl5.32 and perl5.34 ports be missing things, vis-a-vis
 5.30 and earlier?

 To illustrate, using the example of `Pod::Parser`:

 {{{
 $ port contents perl5.28 | ggrep "Pod/Parser.pm"
   /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.28/Pod/Parser.pm

 $ port contents perl5.30 | ggrep "Pod/Parser.pm"
   /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.30/Pod/Parser.pm

 $ port contents perl5.32 | ggrep "Pod/Parser.pm"

 $ port contents perl5.34 | ggrep "Pod/Parser.pm"
 }}}

 Were these components deprecated, and/or replaced, in Perl 5.32 and
 beyond...?
