"safely deleted" sounds as if you made "make clean" remove it.  I do not
mind doing s/and can be.*/and should be ignored./ myself, if you want.

You're very welcome to do that.

Yes, it does. perl/perl.mak (which, in turn, is generated by MakeMaker
via perl/Makefile) takes care of that file explicitly.
