Selecting a specific perl version

Hi!

I'm going a bit mad while I'm working on #26320 (background: the port in
question specifically needs Perl 5.10 or newer as some functionality
fails on 5.8). I added two variants a couple of days ago, one for
perl5.10 and one for perl5.12, but haven't checked closely enough if
that solves the reporters problem. It turns out it didn't because my fix
did not yet include the replacement of

   configure.cmd   ${prefix}/bin/perl

by

   configure.cmd   ${prefix}/bin/perl5.10    or
   configure.cmd   ${prefix}/bin/perl5.12

which is needed to let Perl install the libs in the proper place. Now
that this happens the configure process further fails because (of
course) it does not find a myriad of dependent perl5 modules underknees
the perl5.10 installation - as it seems they're all installed in the
"default" 5.8 installation. The question is now: Am I doing something
wrong while using the perl5 portgroup or what can I do otherwise to
enforce that all dependent perl5 module dependencies are installed in
the right perl installation before my port is installed? Fiddling around
with ${perl5.bin} anywhere in my port doesn't seem to have any influence
on the behaviour of the perl portgroup...

Thanks in advance,
Thomas.
