There's this one :

But I'm *not* inserting an arbitrary value of Perl into any file.
At configure the variable will be evaluated and turned into a hard value
as far as I can tell.

As far as I can see, my proposal is no different from what's already
working in *all* p5- ports. Try eg :
less $(port file p5-acme-lolcat)

And Joshua never answered my question for clarification.
