Hi,
i will start a discussion for the integration of Perl 5.22.x into IPFire. I have been working for over half a year on the files.
My motivation came from the use of SpamAssassin. This application is written in Perl. The old Perl modules from IPFire are as a security risk.
First i update the Perl LFS and rootfile only. All the other Perl modules remain old. I began individual modules to update, but it was very expensive.
Since I had the idea to take all modules to one or two LFS together. This has the advantage that all individual Perl modules disappear make.sh from and this is clearly shorter. The two LFS files and the associated Rootfiles are also easier to maintain. The individual Perl modules in Pakfire can then also be removed. Perl is always complete and up to date with its modules. In my mailserver branch I have this development as far finished. However, I had the modules-LFS divided into two files because make is having trouble with to large LFS files.
Also have Perl 5.22.1 integrated into the toolchain. The need still less, gdbm and berkeley DB4 before.
I created three files from the many Perl files: perl-buildtools perl-modules1 perl-modules2
The current folder size of /usr/lib/perl5 is about 75MB with Perl 5.22.1 and all modules and 55Mb with Perl 5.12.3. A Perl-Modules list can be found here: http://people.ipfire.org/~mlorenz/mp/22/perl.txt This includes all needed modules for Amavisd, all from Pakfire and many more. All updated to the latest version from CPAN (December 2015)
Here the perl-buildtools LFS with the current modules from CPAN as an example. The modules included are needed around the other current Perl modules to build:

That would be my suggestion for integration of Perl 5.22.1. On request, I can create big patches and send it to the mailing list. Perl 5.22.x works are in several months generated by my ISO's unremarkable. It is known that a few startup scripts need to be adjusted (amavisd).
Please forgive me my simple English... Google translator helped me. :)
