----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 Installing newer versions of perl, as in... port install perl5 +perl5_14
 +shared +threads
 causes hardcoded perl versions in the help2man Portfile to create subtle
 build errors.

 It appears the maintainer may have been trying to force perl5.12 or above.

 Suggest changing all occurrences of perl5.12 to perl5 which appears to
 resolve the problem.

 Priority set to high as current state of Portfile disallows installing
 X11.
