after some problems with variable scoping and piping, process
substitution came to the rescue, and I got this piece of bash 4.2 :

for version in 12 8 10 14
do
    cat << EOT

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ ports dependent on Perl 5.${version}
+
EOT
    declare -i counter=0
    while read portname[0] portname[1] portname[2]
    do
        fundet=$( \
            grep -E -e "(perl${version}|p5.${version})" $(port file
${portname[0]}) \
        |   wc -l )
        if [ ${fundet} -gt 0 ]
        then
            (( ++counter ))
            printf "%-25s %-10s %-s\n" \
                ${portname[0]} ${portname[1]} ${portname[2]%/*}
        fi
    done < <( port list )
    echo "++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"
    echo "number of ports dependent on Perl5.${version} : ${counter}"
done
