As I understand, the same port (databases/p5-postgresql-plperl) works
for different PostgreSQL version. It can be built with
databases/postgresqlXX-server. So, if you just don't deliver
postgresql-perl-8.2.22_2 PACKAGE, I don't care. But don't drop the PORT.
You just need to change DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER?=82 in its Makefile to
DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER?=84 and forget about it.
