freebsd-questions:

I am building a FreeBSD 10.1 computer and would like to install Perl 5.


Several ports are available:

2016-06-03 20:29:31 toor at p42800e ~
# pkg search perl | egrep ^perl5
perl5-5.20.3_13                Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl5-devel-5.25.1.91          Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl5.18-5.18.4_22             Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl5.22-5.22.2_1              Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl5.24-5.24.0                Practical Extraction and Report Language


I've heard of perlbrew, but have never tried it.  I don't see a FreeBSD 
package, but I do see a port (that wants perl5-5.20.3_13):

What is the best way to get a robust Perl 5 installation on FreeBSD 10.1?


TIA,

David
