[doc] what's the correct way to invoke perlivp? #23145

Where

Porting/release_managers_guide.pod, =head4 Run the Installation Verification Procedure utility

Description

This section says to run

$ ./perl -Ilib ./utils/perlivp
# Or, perhaps:
$ ./perl5.X.Y ./utils/perlivp5.X.Y

But these instructions don't really make sense. In the previous step, we changed to the installation directory (cd /install/path). If perlivp is supposed to be run from there, the command should be

$ ./bin/perlivp
# or
$ ./bin/perlivp5.X.Y

because there are no ./perl or ./perl5.X.Y executables in that directory (they're in bin), nor are there lib or utils subdirectories.

If perlivp is supposed to be run from the source directory, then what was cd /install/path for? But I don't think that's the case because running ./perl -Ilib ./utils/perlivp there throws a lot of Required module ... does not appear to be properly installed errors.
