            Bug ID: 227356
           Summary: lang/perl5.26: suggestion to set
                    DEFAULT_VERSIONS=perl5=5.26 does not work if perl5.24
                    installed
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

A pre-everything check in lang/perl5.26 suggest that the user can set
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=perl5=5.26 in make.conf to make perl5.26 install files as the
default perl (bin/perl, bin/perl5, etc.).  This fails if a different perl
(e.g., perl5.24) is already installed.

Even if this behavior is not changed, the wording of the pre-everything message
should probably be clarified to account for this case.
