I wish it could be so easy to remove perl5.28. Apparently, I have to keep it
because of git:
$ port info git
git @2.31.1_2 (devel)
Variants: [+]credential_osxkeychain, [+]diff_highlight, [+]doc,
gitweb, [+]pcre, perl5_26, [+]perl5_28,
perl5_30, python, svn, universal
Description: Git is a fast, scalable, distributed open source version
control system focusing on speed and
efficiency.
Homepage: https://git-scm.com/
Extract Dependencies: xz
Library Dependencies: perl5.28, curl, zlib, openssl, expat, libiconv, pcre2
Runtime Dependencies: p5.28-authen-sasl, p5.28-error, p5.28-net-smtp-ssl,
p5.28-term-readkey, p5.28-cgi, rsync

Are Library and Runtime dependencies of git on perl5.28 intentional or an
oversight?
Thanks,
Kastus
