Comment (by afb at macports.org):

 Replying to [comment:2 jmr at macports.org]:
 > It would work, except that AFAIK perl5.10 does not install
 ${prefix}/bin/perl, which is what the perl5 portgroup relies on.

 If you edit the ${prefix}/bin/perl binary (to be a link to perl5.10.0
 instead of perl5.8.8), you would be able to use perl5.10 if the bin:perl
 dependency style was used. `perl_select` or not.
