OK. Just revisited...

check-plist returns the following, if perllocal.pod is removed from
pkg-plist:

Error: Orphaned: lib/perl5/%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/perllocal.pod

Which was my point for

compress-man:
MANCOMPRESSED=    no

meaning
lib/perl5/%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/perllocal.pod

is created

without
compress-man:
MANCOMPRESSED=    no

I naturally get
lib/perl5/%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/perllocal.pod.gz

While I have no illusions about my being the new kid on the block.
I can't help but ask; why is not squashing perllocal.pod a bad thing(tm)?

I'll post an additional diff, citing perllocal.pod.gz, and removing
perllocal.pod, and let you decide. But I would greatly appreciate
reason(s) why my addition of MANCOMPRESSED is a bad thing(tm). :)

Thanks, John.
