Hi,

I feel a better solution would be to ensure we never emit the tag in
such case.  I suspect our data file might pick up the perl in
experimental (as well?) if refreshed on a system with experimental enabled.

Anyhow, for now I have committed this patch and cloned this bug to keep
a tracker for "the above".  Thanks for the report and patch. :)
