Comment (by devans@…):

 Replying to [comment:51 mojca@…]:
 > I believe that ports which weren't fixed count as "maintainer timeout"
 already? Is it OK to fix a port straight to 5.20 (assuming that all the
 dependencies are present and that it works of course)?

 I think the current recommended policy is to depend on the current default
 version for port perl5 (currently perl5.16).  This minimizes the number of
 different perl versions that need to be simultaneously installed for the
 casual MacPorts user.
