 Uninstalling and reinstalling the exiftool port doesn't prove anything in
 that regard since the exiftool port only installs the
 /opt/local/bin/exiftool symlink. The script it points to,
 /opt/local/libexec/perl5.34/exiftool, is installed by the p5.34-image-
 exiftool port. Uninstalling and reinstalling that port would prove what
 that file contains right after installation.

 > Looking forward to a more permanent solution which, if I understand you
 well, should not be too difficult (a fixed `reinplace` or "after-fix-
 reinplace` when the CPAN build has completed).

 The question is where the fix needs to be and how far the problem extends.
 The problem seems to have been caused by an innocuous-seeming change of
 the shebang line by the exiftool authors. If the fixing of the shebang
 line occurs in the perl module build process, should it have caught the
 new one too—do we need to file a bug report with the developers of perl or
 one of its module-building modules? Or if the fix should be in the perl5
 portgroup we can of course fix it there. But how many other ports that use
 the perl5 portgroup or this module building process are also using the
 "wrong" shebang line that isn't being replaced? How do we identify and fix
 them all? Or is it perhaps erroneous for the developers of exiftool to
 have made this change and we should ask them to change it back?
