Perl 5.12 upgrade fails

[Derek Lamb]

Hi Puneet,

There were several reports of Perl upgrade issues last month.  Search "Perl" at https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2013-April/thread.html.  There are links to several tickets there.  The quick answer may be to deactivate libstdcxx, upgrade perl5.12, then activate libstdcxx.  I believe the perl5.12 port is universal but libstdcxx is not (or the other way around).
