I don't understand why you have done this inside all-packages.nix.
Nix is a lazy language and Perl libs are not used when the svn-support
is not activated, which means that Perl libs should not be build. If
am right your modification is point-less in all-packages.nix otherwise
I am missing something about the evaluation of Nix expression.
