OK, I did the forced variant change for perl5:
% sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants perl5 -perl5_18 +perl5_16
And now:
$ which perl
/opt/local/bin/perl
$ perl --version
This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 1 (v5.16.1) built for
darwin-thread-multi-2level
And I tried the procedure recommended on http://trac.macports.org/ticket/42582
to rebuild mod_perl2 first, with the desired perl version:
% sudo port -ns upgrade --force mod_perl2
---> Computing dependencies for mod_perl2
---> Building mod_perl2
Error: org.macports.build for port mod_perl2 returned: command execution
failed
Please see the log file for port mod_perl2 for details:
I've posted the log as a new comment to trac.macports.org/ticket/42582.
How to proceed so that I can eventually get p5-libapreq2 installed along with
mod_perl2??
(I do need to use at least version 5.16 of perl for my ultimate purpose.)
