Should there be a make variable & a version check made for the modules?  Maybe 
you could put a 

	PERL5_VERSION_REQUIRED = '$] >= 5.00401'

in the p5-* ports as appropriate, then have a check in a standard rule 
somewhere that waves the chosen PERL5_PROG (or whatever) over it to decide if 
it's sufficient for handling the particular p5-* port?
