Previously we had SHARED_ONLY for ports that only work on architectures with shared libraries. For perl ports this was mostly due to XS modules (and ports infrastructure automatically added the perl WANTLIB for ports marked SHARED_ONLY). When SHARED_ONLY was retired the WANTLIBs were re-added. But this port is a corner case - it was marked SHARED_ONLY because it deals with shared libs, not because it's an XS module. So removing the WANTLIB is correct.
