Log:
  Change the default Perl version to 5.24.
  
  We have been stuck with Perl 5.20 for too long.  Now that the main
  problem, mod_perl2, has been updated to work with Perl 5.22+, we can go
  and live with a modern Perl.

+  The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.24.  If you are using
+  binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg
+  upgrade will do the right thing.  For the other people, assuming you are
+  migrating from 5.20 to 5.24, do:
+
+  First, add to /etc/make.conf:
+
+  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=  perl5=5.24
+
+  Portupgrade users:
+	portupgrade -o lang/perl5.24 -f lang/perl5.20
+
+	  You can now remove the DEFAULT_VERSIONS line added earlier
+	  from /etc/make.conf
+
+	  Then you will need to rebuild everything that uses libperl.so, you
+	  can do so with:
+
+	portupgrade -f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.20`
+
+  Portmaster users:
+	portmaster -o lang/perl5.24 lang/perl5.20
