Discussing ideas or wish list

Yes, I can install lang/perl5.12.
But in that case, I can't install other perl /p5 pre-build packages (which depends on Perl 5.14) provided by FreeBSD, due to dependency problem.

Perl is not in the base system, so why is this an issue?  If you need 
5.12 on 9.1, install lang/perl5.12.
