I don't mind patches fixing the FreeBSD ports tree.  Your patches don't fix
the FreeBSD ports tree, they fix your ports tree.

Perl 5.16 has not been supported for a year, it was removed last year, so
it is not supported by the ports tree.

FYI, Perl 5.18 is not supported any more and will be removed at the end of
the year, when that happens, any support for it will be removed from the
official FreeBSD ports tree.
