Comment:

 Hmm. At the moment, it's important that we keep intltool using perl5.12
 only. Because autoconf for intltool-using programs looks at build-time for
 a version of perl to use for intltool, we have to set `INTLTOOL_PERL` to
 the perl binary that we installed intltool for, in all the ports that use
 it. (See, for example, #32425).

 If we added support for building intltool with a different perl version,
 we'd have to change those ports to figure out which one was used to build
 the installed intltool, and set INTLTOOL_PERL accordingly. That might be
 the way to go, but it'll require some effort...
