Perl upgrade - 5.20.x vulnerable

I'm using 5.20, 5.22 and 5.24 on different boxes for different
use cases, no issues in general.

But: There's one issue that keeps me on 5.20 for some production boxes:
mod_perl has problems with newer versions of perl. See

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209459

for details. If you do not plan to use mod_perl, there should
be no issue.
