It was 11.3 that turned /usr/bin/perl into 5.30.2 (vs 5.28.2 in 11.2). 
Note that 11.3 also has /usr/bin/perl5.18, /usr/bin/perl5.28, and 
/usr/bin/perl5.30, which means that a Fink install from 10.14.6 and 
later upgraded to macOS 11.3 will still work.

However, we don't have an easy way to provide perl5.28.2 for 11.3 w/out 
starting a new dist (called 1'1.3' similar to how we had to make '10.14.5').
