The commit mentioned below changes text in Configure, but "forgot" to
amend the explanation of the variable in Porting/Glossary, which now
seems to somewhat disagree.
Would you mind having a stab at that too?

versiononly:
If set, this symbol indicates that only the version-specific
components of a perl installation should be installed.
This may be useful for making a test installation of a new
version without disturbing the existing installation.
Setting versiononly is equivalent to setting installperl's -v option.
In particular, the non-versioned scripts and programs such as
a2p, c2ph, h2xs, pod2*, and perldoc are not installed
(see INSTALL for a more complete list). Nor are the man
pages installed.
Usually, this is undef.

Please do not commit to that file directly, as it is generated.

Follows: v5.25.2
Precedes: v5.25.3
Configure: clarify "version-specific"
This has long been a confusing configure question. It sounds like
it saves time by installing /less/, but really it just installs
binaries with a version number suffix.
