Comment (by bruce.miller@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 mf2k@…]:
 >   - It is not correct to depend on the stub p5-* ports. Instead you must
 select a version. Macports is currently using perl 5.16 as the default
 perl, so use 5.16-foo.

 While poking around to deal with other comments, I came across the
 following
 idiom in some of the portfiles.
 {{{
 if {${perl5.major} != ""} {
 depends_lib-append  port:p${perl5.major}-encode-locale \
  ...
 }
 }}}
 Would that be a preferred approach in my Portfile, as well?
 I'm curious though: What happens if {{{${perl5.major} }}} is *not*
 defined?  No dependencies?
 (or is that a "can't happen"?)
