[oi-dev] Review switch of /usr/perl5/bin/perl to perl 5.16

[Andy Stormont]

I have a couple of nits to pick:

- Having a .cleaned stamp seems like a bad idea.  If it were really clean there shouldn’t be anything like that around at all.
- The .cleaned rule depends on .downloaded but it also creates .downloaded.  Does this still work with a clean build?
