#71388: help2man: Defaults to perl5.38

------------------------+----------------------------
 help2man was recently [changeset:1d6634e749a96b8a89b92a7fccc1fc6b1de36eb2
 /macports-ports changed to default to perl5.38].

 Can this be reverted, please? Everything in MacPorts should default to the
 same perl version, so as to limit the number of different perls that
 people have to have installed. The version of perl that ports should use
 by default at this time is perl5.34, [https://github.com/macports
 /macports-
 ports/blob/6af9182ef1a7402481b3d7aa4b6fc9efc22a3c5c/_resources/port1.0/group/perl5-1.0.tcl#L13
 per the perl5-1.0 portgroup]. Efforts to switch all ports to a newer perl
 are blocked by #67830.
