Subject: Re: ports/3936: perl 5.004_01 is already available

 * 	BUILD_DEPENDS+=		perl5:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5
 * 	RUN_DEPENDS+=		perl5:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5
 * 
 * and make sure that the lang/perl5 port installs a 'perl5' link.  Then you 
 * won't even have to change bsd.port.mk for the next perl5 update that you want 
 * to use in the p5-* ports.

Because they are different. ;)  For instance, 5.004 has new modules
that were not in 5.003.

The difference in version numbers here is not an annoyance, it's
actually a useful information for us.
