Comment (by pixilla@…):

 Replying to [comment:9 dluke@…]:
 > Not many comments because no one cares about the old perls (for some
 sets of 'no one').
 >
 > The reality is that it's really easy to keep cruft like that around
 because it keeps working and no one complains. However, we do our users a
 dis-service distributing software that's not maintained upstream.
 >
 > For the very few use-cases where people actually need the old version,
 they can resurrect the port (and/or someone could run an alternate ports
 tree with just "old unmaintained crap" for those who really want to have
 it).
