Hiya,

Many p5-* ports are still broken due to the perl5 upgrade.  While it's 
easy to avoid building those (DUDS="$(echo p5-*)"), they are causing
other ports that use them as dependencies to break as well.

In particular, those who committed the "fix" to hardcode "5.00501" in
your ports, those are (predictably) broken again now.  We have a
framework to deal with those now (${PERL_VER} and ${PERL_VERSION} in
Makefile, %%PERL_VER%% and %%PERL_VERSION%% in PLIST and manpage
auto-append to PLIST), please take a look at the latest bsd.port.mk
or any of the devel/p5-* ports (which I fixed).  Ports fixed that way
should survive future perl5 upgrades.

I know it has been an unwanted burden to you all to suddenly have this 
come crashing down on you, but the tree really cannot stay broken very 
long.  Please fix them at your earliest convenience.  Thanks.

Satoshi

P.S. BTW, will it be easier for people to tell which ones are broken
     if I just mark those BROKEN?
