What is the 'perl-dynamic' executable

[TysonBerry]

Investigating an issue with multiple Perl installations on our (HP UX IA64 system), I came across an executable called perl-dynamic. What is this and what exactly does it do?

More importantly, how do I know which perl executable it actually points to (we have multiple versions mixing version numbers and architectures installed).

bash-4.4$ ll /usr/bin/perl    
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root       sys             18 Jan  8 16:34 /usr/bin/perl -> /opt/perl/bin/perl
bash-4.4$ ll /opt/perl/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx   1 bin        bin             14 Jan  8 16:45 /opt/perl/bin/perl -> ./perl-dynamic

Is this a magical perl binary which decides which version and architecture to use?
