presumably needs some perl specified

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

This problem is also mentioned here:

​https://discuss.pixls.us/t/building-darktable-on-macos/18923

That user also experienced the problem with perl 5.18, just as we are, and says using a newer perl fixed it.

However I do not see a bug report filed in the darktable issue tracker about this so that should probably be done.

In f237d4593908d43471d8e4321a3e2a01de19c98e/macports-ports (master):

darktable: spec a newer perl

closes: #61874

[kencu (Ken)]

I thought about opening an issue, but there are hundreds of open issues, and the overwhelming answer will be to "install a newer perl" -- so I didn't bother doing it just to get slammed.
