Comment (by mojca@…):

 I would like to remind the maintainers to commit changes to their ports to
 switch to `perl5.22` as we would like to get rid of 5.16, hopefully before
 5.22 becomes "the new old version" already. One way to do the changes (in
 the name of easier transitions in the future) is the following:

 {{{
 PortGroup           perl5 1.0
 ...
 perl5.branches      5.22
 ...
 depends_lib-append  port:perl${perl5.major} \
                     port:p${perl5.major}-foo \
                     ...
 }}}

 Instead of `configure.env-append PERL=...` you can use
 {{{
 configure.perl      ${perl5.bin}
 }}}
 and the `${perl5.bin}` can also be used in other places like
 {{{
 reinplace "s|\#!/usr/bin/perl|\#!${perl5.bin}|" ...
 }}}

 (David was more in favour of solutions that don't add the extra overhead,
 but in any case it would be extremely helpful if all these ports wouldn't
 have the Perl version hardcoded at a dozen places and to me it would be
 even more helpful if we could do a more straightforward "search-and-
 replace" of `perl5.branches` in the future. At the moment some ports use
 "`set perl_version 5.x`", some "`set pbranch 5.x`", so doing a semi-
 automated change is not entirely straightforward.)
