I think there's still too much work required here (even if it might be a good idea to enhance base/ to handle this more easily). If we go: perl5 installs a perl (hopefully the perl5.20.0 or whatever the current best upstream perl5 is), and we just install p5-ports built against our perl5. Plus we do mass revbump of p5 ports whenever we upgrade our perl5 (and/or enhance base or the perl5 portgroup in some way to make this unnecessary), then we give people using perl (going forward) a more normal experience (ie, I install perl5, sometime later I upgrade to a new perl5 and all my installed modules get rebuilt/reinstalled for the new perl5 - everything works like I expect it to!). -- Daniel J.
