Here:

$ ls -l output/target/usr/bin/perl*
-rwxr-xr-x 2 thomas thomas 4558484 oct.   4 23:12 output/target/usr/bin/perl
-rwxr-xr-x 2 thomas thomas 4558484 oct.   4 23:12 output/target/usr/bin/perl5.16.1
-rwxr-xr-x 2 thomas thomas   41693 oct.   4 22:59 output/target/usr/bin/perlbug
-rwxr-xr-x 1 thomas thomas     224 oct.   4 22:59 output/target/usr/bin/perldoc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 thomas thomas   10766 oct.   4 22:59 output/target/usr/bin/perlivp
-rwxr-xr-x 2 thomas thomas   41693 oct.   4 22:59 output/target/usr/bin/perlthanks
