Ok, it works.  Adding the 'PortGroup  perl5 1.0' statement to my port
allowed me to use the variable ${perl5.archlib}, just what I wanted. The only remaiing question is when I add the perl portgroup to the smokeping port, whether I should move the port to category dports/perl or leave it
in dports/net with perl as a secondary category.

I don't think it matters if you use the group code in a non perl category.

Its probably best if you (as the maintainer) decide which categories the port belongs to.

I personally feel that the language-specific groups (java, perl, python, etc) only really make sense as the primary group for bindings or extension to the language. If you have a network application/tool then I'd put it in the net group.
