Is that not what the current “perl5” port does? As I understand it, if you’re not fussy about which perl you want, you put in a dep on “port:perl5” then spec your perl as ${prefix}/bin/perl5 and you’re done. the perl5 port symlinks to the currently blessed perl. It’s quite possible I don’t fully grasp the nuances, though. K
