#51134: vit broken by explicit perl dependency
------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  benjamin@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:              |       Port:
------------------------+--------------------------------
 Here's the offending change:
 https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/office/vit/files/patch-
 vit.pl.diff

 22 months ago, vit.pl was changed to use '/usr/bin/env perl5.16'. Vit
 depends on the perl curses module which implies p5.16-curses, but that
 can't be installed because it is obsoleted. The vit package was
 (rightfully) updated to specify p5.22-curses as its dependency last year,
 but the vit.pl file was not updated. New installs are now broken.

 Should vit.pl really specify a perl version at all? Why not just use the
 selected perl?
