Comment (by pixilla@…):

 Replying to [comment:10 mojca@…]:
 > I have a question for `pixilla`: what is the difference between
 `perl5.require_variant` and `perl5.set_default_variant`?

 `perl5.require_variant yes` will produce an error if a perl variant is not
 selected, say someone does "`port install foo -perl5_20`" to negate a
 default `+perl5_20`.

 `perl5.default_variant` is always set to a perl variant and defaults to
 `perl5.default_branch`, one can set `perl5.default_variant` to something
 else in the Portfile. `perl5.default_variant` may be redundant since
 `perl5.default_branch` can achieve the same effect.

 `perl5.set_default_variant` is used to control whether to actually set a
 default perl variant.
