commit 50a0d0c436279ae7c8024fd0d3eb07f5f9ac0051
Author: Guillem Jover <guillem at debian.org>
Date:   Wed Jun 15 01:50:35 2016 +0200

    man, perl: Remove most AUTHOR sections
    
    These are strongly discouraged by the man-pages project, because they
    are redundant with the copyright notices, and tend to get out-of-sync.
    
    In addition their format is inconsitent. Just remove them in the same
    way we did for man pages in the past.
