It's irking that the release tags in the repository are inconsistent.  Is that
v5.6.2 or perl-5.6.2 I'm looking for?  It becomes particularly annoying when
automating, such as perlbrew.

The attached shell script takes all the perl-* tags and gives them matching v*
tags.  Somebody with a commit bit just needs to run it and then "git push
--tags origin".  Possibly run the attached "git-rm-local-tags" first, to
ensure your local repository does not contain any stray tags.

If you remove the exit line from the file, it will also delete the perl-*
tags.  I don't know if anyone is using them, but they're cluttering things up.
