 If other ports are doing the same thing, they are also incorrect. The
 version of perl used by privoxy changes depending on how perl5 is
 installed:
 {{{
 % port deps privoxy
 Full Name: privoxy @3.0.33_1+https_inspection
 Fetch Dependencies:   gnupg2
 Build Dependencies:   autoconf, automake, libtool, sf-pwgen
 Library Dependencies: brotli, pcre, zlib, apple-pki-bundle, curl-ca-
 bundle,
                       openssl, openssl
 Runtime Dependencies: perl5.30, p5.30-getopt-long, p5.30-time-local
 % sudo port install perl5 +perl5_28

 % port deps privoxy
 Full Name: privoxy @3.0.33_1+https_inspection
 Fetch Dependencies:   gnupg2
 Build Dependencies:   autoconf, automake, libtool, sf-pwgen
 Library Dependencies: brotli, pcre, zlib, apple-pki-bundle, curl-ca-

 Runtime Dependencies: perl5.28, p5.28-getopt-long, p5.28-time-local
 }}}
 This is simply incompatible with binary distribution. It will be built to
 use a certain perl version on the build machine, and that perl version may
 not even be present on the user's machine because the dependencies
 evaluate differently there.

 The port needs to choose a specific perl version in a deterministic way.
 You can offer variants if it is desirable to be able to use different perl
 versions.
