Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 Why not simply depend on `port:perl5` and let the version issue be handled
 by that way, at least in ports that don't link to a perl library
 (supposing that's even possible)?

 Aren't the `perl5` and the `p5-*` ports there exactly for this reason, to
 avoid hardcoding any perl version beyond the major version (5)?
