| 1 | | The perl5 port is a stub port. It doesn't install perl, it just installs `perl` and `perl5` symlinks that points to whatever perl you have installed. By default, at present, that symlink points to the `perl5.34` executable installed by the perl5.34 port. You can use a different variant of the perl5 port if you'd like that symlink to point to a perl executable provided by a different perl port. For example, by installing perl5 with the +perl5_36 variant, you tell it to depend on the perl5.36 port instead and to provide `perl` and `perl5` symlinks that point to the `perl5.36` executable. |
