Thanks. I tried to create a patch. Please test if it works any better now.

It seems that
perl5.setup ${name} ${version}
without perl5.major being set in advance is the culprit. I attached a
patch that adds
perl5.create_variants ${perl5.branches}
in front of perl5.setup which should (at least in theory) fix the
problem. But it seems that one would need to set that variable
explicitly in the Portfiles without variants.
