gnu: Use static & unversioned CPAN home pages.

Constructing home pages to be version-specific is not something we
really want or do elsewhere, and interferers with mass updates like the
one I'm about to make.

* gnu/packages/glib.scm (perl-net-dbus-glib)[home-page]: Use canonical
home page.
* gnu/packages/perl-check.scm (perl-test-nowarnings, perl-test-output)
(perl-test-simple, perl-test-tester)[home-page]: Likewise.
* gnu/packages/perl.scm (perl-benchmark-timer, perl-clone)
(perl-digest-sha1, perl-file-which, perl-getopt-tabular, perl-io-string)
(perl-ipc-run3, perl-probe-perl, perl-regexp-common, perl-sys-cpu)
[home-page]: Likewise.
* gnu/packages/tcl.scm (perl-tk)[home-page]: Likewise.
* gnu/packages/tls.scm (perl-net-ssleay)[home-page]: Likewise.
* gnu/packages/web.scm (perl-www-curl)[home-page]: Likewise.
* gnu/packages/xml.scm (perl-xml-dom)[home-page]: Likewise.
* gnu/packages/xorg.scm (perl-x11-protocol-other)[home-page]: Likewise.
