--- Comment #4 from Franco Fichtner <franco at opnsense.org> ---
Thanks for responding, Mark. I talked this over a little with @swills and it's
a bit odd that the infrastructure overrides the user selection. I would simply
expect the ports framework to fail with a message that it can't set the perl
version since a different one is already installed. The situation is easily
forced either while using packages and ports on the same machine (I know, don't
do it, but there's no reason not to do it if the framework would adapt better)
or when compiling perl5 from ports having forgot to set the default version in
the first place.

@swills wasn't opposed to a warning message, I don't know if that is radical
enough here. In any case, just an observation on how expected behaviour goes
against what is being executed underneath. It was pretty hard to catch and
debug this in the first place.

Cheers,
Franco
