You do realise there is no *requirement* to use $pkgname and $pkgver,
right? You can just hard code the correct names into the PKGBUILD
and be done with it. The only drawback is that you need to modify a
few more places when updating the package in the future. That is a
*very* minor drawback in the vast majority of cases.
Also, in the future consider uploading the PKGBUILD you are working on
to a pastebin. It will likely make it much easier to ask you
question. :-)

Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then
being a real problem in the longer term.
