How do we ever know if the USE_PERL5 was intentional because it needed both or that it is a leftover from the past? Honestly, I think that USE_PERL5 variable should be used for the building of ports only and not as a RUN_DEPENDS thing. But I'm too late with complaining about this, I'll have to live with it now.
