Comment (by bruce.miller@…):

 Replying to [comment:10 mojca@…]:
 > But of course one then ends up with `bin/perlcritic-5.20` instead of
 `bin/perlcritic`. That could be fixed with some tricks, for example by
 creating a "blank" port `perlcritic` doing nothing else but adding a
 dependency on `p5.x-perl-critic` and creating a symlink to the binary. Or
 any other trick.

 I think that is what setting perl5.link_binary_suffix to empty is supposed
 to achieve.

 So, the only differences in our Portfiles seem, to me, to be innocuous,
 unless they have some sneaky side-effects. I can't really see what my
 Portfile is doing differently than p5-perl-critic. I don't want to second-
 guess you, but are you ''sure'' the Portfile I've proposed for 0.8.1
 doesn't install correctly under any supported perl? (ie. perl 5.16, 5.20)
