I wanted portmgr@ to, perhaps, revisit the very utility of the separate PERL5
knob -- and how it is set. Because the setting reflects not what IS, but what
WOULD BE, if the relevant lang/perl5.XX was rebuilt anew.

For example, I had the PERL5_DEFAULT set to 5.22 and the perl-5.22 installed.
When the lang/perl5.22 got upgraded to 5.22.1 and I updated my ports-tree,
PERL5 started pointing to the NON-EXISTING /usr/local/bin/perl5.22.1 instead of
the perl5.22.

These ports should not be using PERL5 to begin with, but if PERL5 is useful
anywhere at all, it should be set correctly... I do not have a solution, so I'm
just raising awareness.

Sorry, too much work.
