I assume mod_perl.so requires the rest of the perl-version-specific files, so that port would have perl5.* variants which depend on the corresponding p5.*-mod_perl2 port.

I realize the mod_perl.so would be specific to the perl version, that's why I suggested the hypothetical mod_perl2 port would have variants for choosing which perl version to use.

I have no objection to that if someone wants to put in the effort to do it.
