Erm.

  .include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

  .if ${PERL_LEVEL} >= 500601
  BROKEN= "Does not work with perl >= 5.6.x"
  .endif

  .include <bsd.port.post.mk>

PERL_LEVEL is in widespread use elsewhere for ports that are part of the
5.6.x and 5.8.x perl ports (like devel/p5-File-Spec, to take a random
example).

Apart from the fact that it's not amazingly pretty, what am I missing?
