New description:

 Support for Perl < 5.16 has been removed (#46322). I would like to request
 removing variants `perl5_10`, `perl5_12`, `perl5_14` and introduce
 variants for 5.18 and 5.20, ideally using something like this (if I
 understand the functionality properly):

 {{{
 perl5.require_variant yes
 perl5.conflict_variants yes
 perl5.branches 5.16 5.18 5.20
 perl5.create_variants ${perl5.branches}
 }}}

 I added `biblatex-biber` and `intltool` to the list just because it would
 be nice to use the functionality from the PortGroup rather than
 "reinventing the wheel" in every port separately.

 (See also #43193, r125264, r129992. And maybe we need some documentation
 about that functionality.)
