There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository perl-module: add perl to build depends https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/23942 Description: There are 456 packages with a build style of `perl-module`. Of those, 455 have `perl` explicitly set for `$hostmakedepends` and 425 have `perl` set for `$makedepends`. I'm not sure it's reasonable to retroactively fix all of the templates using the `perl-module` build style, but future updates of templates can be cleaned up.
