I see that perl5 port has been marked broken for OSVERSION > 300003,
reasoning that perl5 is now part of the base system.

It's understandable that a known, tested version is desirable for
the base system but having the port marked broken seems wrong to me.

Is there some conflict I am not aware of that forces this situation?

I'm concerned that tracking -stable might cause modules installed
with CPAN and /usr/bin/perl to be spammed by installworld.

We'd rather install supplements from a /usr/local prefixed perl5
installation to avoid those problems.

(Sorry if this is a FAQ).

Thanks,
