perl: improve reproducibility

Occasionally the reproducibility selftest fails because perl-pod differs, specifically that the perltoc.pod file was sometimes missing modules. Debugging revealed that there are missing dependencies so there is a build race: building perltoc.pod from an clean build tree results in no modules being listed at all. A bug has been filed at arsv/perl-cross#86 to solve this properly, but for now we can just delete perltoc.pod after make has finished and re-generate it.
