Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 jmr@…]:
 > Hopefully the ability to define subports in the upcoming base release
 will mean it's no longer a huge pain to maintain p5.8-foo, p5.10-foo and
 p5.12-foo, and we'll be able to clean up this mess.

 Some time has passed, and subports now solve this part of the problem. Are
 there any remaining reasons why we should not remove the perl5 port and
 add the perl_select port as suggested? We would of course need to find all
 ports depending on the perl5 port and change them to depend on a specific
 perl port.
