Comment (by mojca@…):
Let us first get to a point where we can get rid of Perl < 5.22 and let's
discuss the improvements to the packaging itself in a separate ticket. (If
we start waiting for the perfect solution, perl 5.30 will be out before we
close this ticket :)
Perl packaging is a painful issue, but we need to address the problem as a
whole and think well about all aspect before rushing into any other
solution (just to figure out that we would have to redo it soon after
anyway).
There is a huge number of Perl-related ports. Some link against Perl's
dylib, some install additional modules (which can be installed anywhere,
but if they end up under `.../5.22/...`, the port can't just switch to a
different version of Perl without being rebuilt), some are ok even with
the system perl, some need a large number of modules, ... some are a weird
mixture of many of these aspects.
