Ummm... Guilty as charged.  The only reason I updated to 5.20 was that 
the pkg repository changed.

However,   I think that making 5.22 the default before fixing up (for me 
at least) some issues with
modperl support might be a bit premature.

Just for my information,  and because I just know you will laugh and you 
need some amusement:
Where and what do you stick 'USE_PERL=XXXX'?  /etc/make.conf?
I don't mind trying to compile the modules I use and see if they work.
