Need to create perl5.22 symbolic link

[dixiao@…]

I actually found this bug when installing gsl on a freshly installed macports system. During the installation, p5.22-locale-gettext failed, and the log file is attached. Obviously, p5.22-locale-gettext is looking for perl5.22 while in /opt/local/bin only perl5.22.1 is created.

I made a symbolic link perl5.22 to perl5 in /opt/local/bin, then p5.22-locale-gettext can install without any problem. However, by doing so, I no longer have the log file. Below is the log file copied from a previous terminal session
