#49940: obsolete perls: remove perl5.8 perl5.10 perl5.12 perl5.14 from repository,
update p5-graveyard
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------

     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:               |       Port:  perl5.8 perl5.10 perl5.12 perl5.14
                         |  p5-graveyard
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 At this point in time, perl5.14 and earlier versions can be considered
 obsolete and can be removed
   * perl module support for these versions has already been removed
 (r130129 2014-12-27)
   * no other ports depend on them
   * no other ports have perl variants that refer to them

 Unless someone can come up with a good reason not to do so, I propose to
 remove these ports at years end and add them to the mausoleum section of
 p5-graveyard declaring them obsolete, replaced by perl5.16 (the current
 default perl).

 See attached patch for proposed modifications to p5-graveyard
