#25575: ${prefix}/bin/perl missing with perl5.x +mangle_names
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: manphiz@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1
Keywords: | Port: perl5
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
When using mangle_names variant in perl5.x ports, ${prefix}/bin/perl gets
deleted, so that if all perl5.x is installed using +mangle_names there
will be no ${prefix}/bin/perl, and everything depends on it breaks. So it
might be beneficial to let perl5 port provide the executable to prevent it
from missing.
On the other hand, there might be some value to let ${prefix}/bin/perl
missing so that `/usr/bin/env perl` uses the system perl. In this case
all ports should use ${prefix}/bin/perl5 provided by perl5 port so
everything still works. Just my 2 cents :)
