I don't think I'd bother with this, but, if you really want to keep it, why not build using the provided Makefile.PL, rather than overriding all the standard phases? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49999#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I never said I wanted to keep it. All I wanted to do was to make some progress towards the transition to 5.22 which is when I stumbled across this port.
And you're doing that, certainly. I think this one is too old and broken (with Perl 5.22 at least) to worry about but whatever you decide is fine with me. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49999#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
