From: "Zverev Andrey" To: , Cc: Subject: Re: ports/156492: Multiple versions of Perl not supported Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:21:22 +0400 Can you share your idea about how to handle perl's modules in this case? PKGNAME is unique here, and if I install module under perl 5.12 I can't use it with 5.14 or 5.16 We can share SITE_PERL among all Perl installations, but I doubt it will work for XS modules. We can add perl version as PKGPREFIX, but having ability to install same port 3 times also sucks.
