16830,RFE: Have only one perl5 package,mcalhoun@…,ricci@macports.org,"Is there a compelling reason why there are two packages for Perl 5?[[BR]]
May I suggest that perl5.8 be removed and perl5.10 become perl5.[[BR]]
  * perl5.8 is unmaintained.
  * Perl 5.10 has been been the official Perl since December.
  * It would preclude the need for some sort of perl_select package.

I am not an expert in Perl development, so perhaps there are good reasons for keeping perl5.8 around, but if not, then having just one perl5 package would be a relatively easy (and simplifying) change to make.",enhancement,closed,Normal,,ports,1.6.0,fixed,,afb@… dluke@… febeling@… vinc17@… ricci@… blb@… ryandesign@… jason@… tommyd@… dreamind@… takashi@… jpo@… jabronson@… ematiu@… mjg@… Markus.Ueberall@… tomas.znamenacek@… steve@… sorin.sbarnea@…,"perl5, perl5.8, perl5.10"
