perl: Add perl binary with major version

Reported by: raimue (Rainer Müller) Owned by: raimue (Rainer Müller)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: perl perl5.8 perl5.10 Cc: afb@…
Port:

Description

Currently perl5.8 installs bin/perl and bin/perl5.8.8, perl5.10 installs bin/perl5.10.0. I would appreciated if there were a binary to call perl5.8 or perl5.10 without using the whole version.

Here are patches for perl5.8 and perl5.10 to achieve this.

An additional enhancement that would be nice would be to add a perl_select (like python_select).
