[tex-live] install-tl, tlutils.pm fail with perl 5.21.5

[Nathan]

Yup, that patch sort of did the trick (minus the extra '(' at "(my @mans
=").
At the end of the install:
running package-specific postactions
Can't modify split in chomp at
~/Desktop/CLFS/armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/texlive/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm
line 2073, near "))"

Hehe, ya, I tend to read that sort of sentiment towards perl quite a bit.

On a side note (shall I create a new thread?), I noticed that during
install, when I select "armhf-linux" and deselect "x86_64-linux" under
Binaries, it DOES deselect "x86_64-linux" except when returning to the main
menu, it shows 2 Binaries selected and entering back into that menu shows
it is re-selected.
