The usual idiom is something like this:
.if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 500601
IGNORE= Port requires perl 5.6.x or (preferably) later. Install
lang/perl5.8 and try again
.endif
On 4.x, if the user hasn't done a 'use.perl port' then PERL_LEVEL will
be 500503.
Under 5.x, use.perl will be run automatically when the perl port is
installed.
Cheers,
Matthew
