I allready changed share-makros on SPARC, to be able to provide
as much PRs as possible for i386/amd64:

  # This is the default BUILD version of perl
  # Not necessarily the system's default version, i.e. /usr/bin/perl
-PERL_VERSION =  5.22
+PERL_VERSION =  5.34

  # Do *not* add 5.34 to PERL_VERSIONS/PERL_64_ONLY_VERSIONS yet. We'll
  # enable it system-wide once all existing perl modules have been rebuilt
  # with support for all three current perl versions.
-PERL_VERSIONS = 5.22 5.24
+PERL_VERSIONS = 5.34

-PERL_64_ONLY_VERSIONS = 5.24
+PERL_64_ONLY_VERSIONS = 5.34

  PERL.5.22 =    /usr/perl5/5.22/bin/perl
  PERL.5.24 =    /usr/perl5/5.24/bin/perl

There is no problem in using 5.34 for 32/64 bit components,
as long as you don't have to link against libperl.so, so please
use perl-5.34, at least for new projects.
