Comment:

 The user did not reply yet. I'm closing this as invalid (in the lack of
 better options). I'm not sure if this was a bug report or just a question
 (if it was a question that was resolved, it could hopefully be called
 `fixed`).

 As already explained above, perl5.18 can be installed with `sudo port
 install perl5.18`, at least for now.

 We cannot easily support `sudo port install perl5 +perl5_18` without
 breaking a lot of other ports, but users can make a trivial change in
 `perl5` if they want to do so at their own risk.

 About whether or not to keep `perl5.18` around in the future: please
 continue the discussion at #50512 and #50000.
