which is precisely the reason why we should just focus on 'one good' version of 
perl (and associated perl modules) unless/until someone has time to make 
something better work.

We can fairly easily have ports for other perls (and just not provide p5 ports 
for them) for the (few) cases where someone needs to have a specific version of 
perl that isn't our default perl.
