Install libperl.so with executable permissions (0755) instead of copying
it as-is.
This allows the OpenWrt build system to recognize the library as a binary and
automatically run the "strip" utility on it. Stripping removes unnecessary
debugging metadata and helper symbols that are only needed for development but
not for running Perl on the router.
This change reduces the installed size of libperl.so on the device:
- Before (not stripped): 3.7 MB (3,929,652 bytes)
```
root@turris:~# file /usr/lib/perl5/5.40/CORE/libperl.so
/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/CORE/libperl.so: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, with debug_info, not stripped
```
- After (stripped): 3.5 MB (3,674,081 bytes)
```
root@turris:~# file /usr/lib/perl5/5.40/CORE/libperl.so
/usr/lib/perl5/5.40/CORE/libperl.so: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, no section header
```
Saving ~255 KB of flash storage space on target devices.

OpenWrt packages feed
Description
This is the OpenWrt "packages"-feed containing community-maintained build scripts, options and patches for applications, modules and libraries used within OpenWrt.
Installation of pre-built packages is handled directly by the opkg utility within your running OpenWrt system or by using the OpenWrt SDK on a build system.
Usage
This repository is intended to be layered on-top of an OpenWrt buildroot. If you do not have an OpenWrt buildroot installed, see the documentation at: OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation on the OpenWrt support site.
This feed is enabled by default. To install all its package definitions, run:
./scripts/feeds update packages
./scripts/feeds install -a -p packages
