This is basic rule of thumb:

Your "pkg mediator" output should never show "local" unless you have
good reason to use non-default mediator setup.  If you are unsure, or do
not know, then you should revert back to system/vendor defaults (using
"pkg unset-mediator ...").  This is true always and for all mediators.
Especially on machines that are used for oi-userland development and/or
building.

In this particular case I recommend to run "pkg unset-mediator -v perl".
Your current perl setup (mediator manually set to perl 5.34) could cause
some unexpected results in future when we change the default perl to
5.36, but your system will stay with perl 5.34 even after update.

Thanks for this.  I'll look at it and propose a fix.  I apparently
missed something there.  Sorry for that.


Regards.
