How can I control the Perl version I want?

[Arno Hautala]

Wouldn't perl need to be installed as "perl5 +perl5_14" not "perl5 @5.14.1_2"?

The default is activated by the variant given to the perl5 pseudo port.

I think you'd only be able to run "perl5 @" if the specified version
had already been built, but was inactive.
