I apologise for my late reply, but please don't do this.  If you think
this approach has merit, please argue its case on perl5-porters
instead of subtly forking perl5 in FreeBSD's ports collection,
violating POLA.

Indeed, the Porter's Handbook discourages you from doing as you
propose:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/dads-freedback.html

Perl5 is actively developed in the open.  If you think you have a good
idea that benefits perl, please discuss your idea with the Perl5
maintainers so that other operating systems, and FreeBSD users who
don't use ports/packages can benefit from your work.
