Comment (by devans@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 mojca@…]:
 > And another tiny request: can you please try to revbump all the
 `perl5.x` ports locally and check if you notice any problems? We had a
 working perl that I broke for a few hours, but some users upgraded exactly
 in that time window, so we should revbump. I just want to avoid revbumping
 to a broken version and risk breaking everyone's installation, not just
 the one of those who were unlucky enough to upgrade at that time.

 After bumping the revision, all 4 perl5.* subports built for me without
 problem.  Didn't see anything like the transient error that you mentioned
 for perl5.16 above.

 Anything more that I should be looking for?
