And I assumed Mojca was trying to go back to that old style in preparation for 
a future removal of those if statements and going back to a single version of 
perl, as has been recently discussed but IIRC not yet decided upon.

For now I am just adding all perl versions to ports as I get to them, so that 
we can address any perl5.18- or perl5.20-specific issues as they come up, and 
get closer to a time when all ports are shown to work with perl5.20.
