Alpine: perl: security update to 5.34.0-r1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 406278

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Encode.pm, as distributed in Perl through 5.34.0, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse
 Encode::ConfigLocal library (in the current working directory) that preempts dynamic module loading.
 Exploitation requires an unusual configuration, and certain 2021 versions of Encode.pm (3.05 through
 3.11). This issue occurs because the || operator evaluates @INC in a scalar context, and thus @INC has
 only an integer value. (CVE-2021-36770)
