Why was the dependency changed from perl5.22 to perl5.24? I don't see anything in the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/maint/Documentation/RelNotes/2.10.... release notes] about a change upstream. It's annoying because I already have two versions of Perl installed and would rather not have a third!
MacPorts' intention is to have all ports that depend on perl5 depend on the latest stable version which is perl5.24. We're currently in the process of switching all perl dependencies from perl5.22 to perl5.24 which was released last May. See #52081. These are the only two versions of Perl that are supported (with perl modules) at the moment. Not sure how you got to three unless you're counting the system perl that comes with macOS. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52484#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for the Mac operating system
