Technically speaking, the target of the perl5 symlinks depend on which variant is chosen. So in an analogous setup, every p5-foo port would have variants for each possible p5.xy-foo. The default variant could be chosen depending on the current perl5 variant, maybe. But I think we've been moving away from using variants for this sort of thing, in favor of "port select". vq _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
