Since Perl 5.12 there is no SUIDPERL option in config.

I compiled 5.10 and now I have /usr/local/bin/suidpperl. The big
problem is: everything I compiled depending on perl is linked against
5.12 and some apps are broken (spamassassin, for example). How could I
find every port that depends on 5.12 and recompile with 5.10?

thanks
