As memory serves the *default* minimum version, if none is
chosen, is 5.20. I believe the "correct" way to manipulate
this choice is by way of:

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=perl5=5.20

changing 5.20 to whichever your desired "default" version is.
The same goes for your lang/python(2|3) as well as your
pgsql, mysql, apache, etc...

does make.conf(5) not already indicate this?
