The "version number" of the perl5 port means absolutely nothing because the perl5 port installs nothing, other than symlinks to the version of perl that you've requested via your variant selection. It might be clearer and help avoid this confusion if we changed the version number of the perl5 port to something that is clearly not a version number of the perl software, such as 1.0 or 20151216.
