-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 When using mangle_names variant in perl5.x ports, ${prefix}/bin/perl gets
 deleted, so that if all perl5.x is installed using +mangle_names there
 will be no ${prefix}/bin/perl, and everything depends on it breaks.  So it
 might be beneficial to let perl5 port provide the executable to prevent it
 from missing.

 On the other hand, there might be some value to let ${prefix}/bin/perl
 missing so that `/usr/bin/env perl` uses the system perl.  In this case
 all ports should use ${prefix}/bin/perl5 provided by perl5 port so
 everything still works.  Just my 2 cents :)
