OK ... It's working now :-D
I had to do the following to get it to work
1) modify the perl5-1.0.tcl by overwriting it with a modified copy
2) copy the whole perl5.16 port from my private repo
3) delete the two PortIndex* files
4) portindex
Doing each of (1) to (3) alone wasn't enough ... _all_ three steps has
to be taken ... and I think I've tried all eight combinations ;-) incl
forgetting to do (1) because a /port sync/ had restored the default.
So ... portindex is -as a minimum- _unable_ to combine a private repo
with the official repo in a case like this.
bash-4.2$ port list name:^p5.16
p5.16-acme-lolcat @0.0.5 perl/p5-acme-lolcat
p5.16-algorithm-annotate @0.100.0 perl/p5-algorithm-annotate
p5.16-algorithm-c3 @0.80.0 perl/p5-algorithm-c3
...
p5.16-yaml-syck @1.170.0 perl/p5-yaml-syck
p5.16-yaml-tiny @1.510.0 perl/p5-yaml-tiny
p5.16-zeromq @0.180.0 perl/p5-zeromq
Now for some fun and games trying to update my whole system from Perl
5.14 to Perl 5.16 :-D
:-)
