For this case I think the most likely case is that we will not ship Perl 5.8.10 with FreeBSD 7.1, but if someone would get a patch by that moment and gets tested against the current ports collection, it would have its way into 7.2-RELEASE. The most important thing is that "someone" :) do the porting work and submit it to portmgr@ for a pointyhat twist.
