Unless I'm misunderstanding something, "port select" does not work at all for 
perl:

sudo port select --list perl5
Warning: Unable to get active selected version: The specified group 'perl5' 
does not exist.
Error: The 'list' command failed: The specified group 'perl5' does not 
exist.

The issue re p5.16-libapreq2 is solved!  After the migration, I had never 
activated a version of perl5 by doing "sudo install perl5 +perl5_16. Not doing 
that seems to be what caused failure to build mod_perl2 and hence prevented 
subsequent installation of p5.16-libapreq2.

(I do still wish a port p5.20-libapreq2 were available, so that I would not 
need to deal with the older versions of perl5.)

It doesn't. But one of the shortcomings of the "port select" mechanism in
general is that there are circumstances where it leaves dangling symlinks
around; the variants-based mechanism used by the perl ports can't normally
do this, unless you've been playing games with --force or manually removing
stuff. So I'm confused as to how you managed to have an invalid
/opt/local/bin/perl.

Can you please try again the following:
port info mod_perl2
sudo port selfupdate
port info mod_perl2
sudo port install mod_perl2
port installed mod_perl2
(and tell me the variants reported by mod_perl2)?

For some weird reason "sudo port install mod_perl2 +perl5_22" would
also install "mod_perl2 + perl5_20" for me in the beginning, but that
was before I fixed the port and added perl5_22 to the list of
variants. (I'm curious why it picked 5.20; I would expect 5.16 at
best.)

So maybe you did a selfupdate too fast. Unless you have a second copy
of the Portfile somewhere, that's my only explanation, otherwise you
shouldn't have ended up with +perl5_20. So hopefully another
selfupdate and installation of mod_perl2 will fix the issue.

At least the error message is more clear now. Earlier you would have
ended up with a cryptic build error saying that one perl module was
missing.

You seem to be almost there.

I just added it now (you could try to switch to 5.22, else you'll be
"outdated" soon again).

You will have to uninstall or deactivate p5.16-libapreq2, install
"perl5 +perl5_22" and "mod_perl2 +perl5_22" and finally install
p5.22-libapreq2.

Then again it might be nice to get some feedback. Running the
testsuite on p5.22-libapre2 fails for some tests. I got rid of some
failures by upgrading mod_perl2 to 2.0.9, but some failures remain.

Re: p5.16-libapreq2 won't reinstall after migration to El Capitan

[Murray Eisenberg]

After uninstalling p5.16-libapeq2 and mod_perl2 + perl5_16, I was able to 
install in order:

perl5 + perl5_22
mod_perl2 +perl5_22
   
However, "port install  p5.22-libapreq2" still used mod_perl2 + perl5.20 and 
the process ends with error that mod_perl2 must be installed with +perl5_22 !  

So no go.

That's correct. That bug is:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29763

It is not an easy bug to fix because the select mechanism is defined to be 
something for the user to use, but we have zillions of ports relying on the 
perl symlink the perl5 port installs. One solution might be to change all ports 
that currently depend on that perl symlink so that they depend on a specific 
version of perl instead, but that's a lot of work, and work that would want to 
be repeated every time we declare that a new version of perl shall be the 
default version, so that isn't great. It's been suggested that this and other 
issues would be avoided by abandoning the idea of offering multiple versions of 
perl and going back to a single version of perl, like we had years ago.

Evidently Murray forcibly deactivated his perl5 port, or something went wrong 
in MacPorts that caused it to become deactivated. The solution would be to 
reactivate the desired version/variant of the perl5 port.
