Thanks for fixing this.

Didn't dig deeply into what the test is actually doing, but I think it'd
be fine to just hardcode libperl5.38t64 FWIW.

We can get rid of the suffix with 5.40, and I doubt any other distro
will go through this than Ubuntu who we're syncing with anyway (for
better or worse).

But whatever works is good of course.
