 ports can be made independent of which version of Perl is installed or the
 major one by
 {{{
 1) setting a portgroup:
    PortGroup           perl5 1.0
 2) change all hard-coded instances of perl5.12 and p5.12 to
    perl${perl5.major} and p${perl5.major}
 }}}
 But as pointed out in #34461 by Ryan, there are tons of ports that are
 hard-coded this way.

 This mega-patch implements the above in all 104 affected ports

 Incidentially, it thus also invalidates #34461 & #34357

 This has been discussed on the dev-list starting with [[BR]]
