---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 Currently, there's no {{{perl_select}}} port to make {{{port select}}}
 work with Perl. Since {{{port select}}} is a great system, I updated the
 {{{perl*}}} ports to install filelists into the {{{etc/select/perl}}}
 tree, and also added a {{{perl_select}}} port, to add the essential files
 to make Perl version selection function.

 These files are not perfect, and I haven't tested them with Perl versions
 other than 5.12. They also do not include the manual pages. If there is
 interest in that, I can take time to do it.

 I have posted the ports to my github[https://github.com/myw/my.ports].
 Please contact me for incorporation into MacPorts or improvement/testing
 before such incorporation. Thanks!
