Undo ports/165457 to not violate POLA.  As far as I knew, the PR
was to test what happened when we did eventually delete these two
ports, not to delete them immediately.

A subsequent commit will add appropriate deprecation messages.

Hat:            portmgr
PR:             ports/165457
Feature safe:   yes (actually no, however, this is to preserve POLA)

- Remove lang/perl5.8 (12/16/2008 EOL) and lang/perl5.10 (08/23/2009 EOL)
- lang/5.12 (default) is in Maint mode and lang/5.14 is GA right now.
- The final UNcommitted portition of this PR will move the default perl
  to lang/perl5.14 but

Do not touch /etc/manpath.config on -CURRENT after man.d/perl.conf is used

Fix script "use.perl": correctly check variables 'need_*'.

Submitted by:   Artis Caune <artis.caune xx gmail.com>

- Fix behaviour of USE_PERL option when it is "off"
- Add PORTSCOUT variable

Remove variable PERL_VER from the ports tree at all - because
it is obsolete since Perl 5.6.0.

Upgrade to 5.8.7.  In addition:

    - add perl-after-upgrade utility to move around
      dependent packages
    - fix $0 expansion in use.perl [1]
    - enable threaded perl on amd64 [2]
    - always compile perl with -pthread [3]
    - fix errno issue in SDBM_File [4]
    - add support for // and err (defined-or) [5]
    - add WITH_DEBUGGING option [6]
    - fix suidperl symlink [7]
    - fix several small bugs in use.perl
    - print possible WITH_XXX flags (no OPTIONS support yet)

    A different solution was actually implemented.

Update bsd.port.mk's notion of the perl version (to 5.8.6) [1].
Use more correct OSVERSION threshold to distinguish between
base system perl and perl from ports - the right value is 500036 [1].

Also, simplify OSVERSION-related logic in lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8.
Now it goes as follows:

- for lang/perl5.8, if there is perl in the base system, install
  use.perl script, use a helpful pkg-message, and do not automatically
  update symlinks;
- for lang/perl5.8, if there is no perl in the base system, do not
  install use.perl script, and update symlinks automatically;
- for lang/perl5, always install use.perl;
- for lang/perl5, never update symlinks automatically;
- for lang/perl5, vary produced pkg-message depending on the presence of
  the base system perl.

Bump PORTREVISION for both lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8.

Update to 5.8.6.  Also:

- redirect output from h2ph to /dev/null [1];
- fix File::Path insecure file/directory permissions [2];
  this resolves CAN-2004-0452
  (http://vuxml.freebsd.org/c418d472-6bd1-11d9-93ca-000a95bc6fae.html);
- for OSVERSION < 500036, create symlinks in /usr/bin not only for
  perl and suidperl, but also for a2p, c2ph, find2perl, h2ph, h2xs,
  perlbug, perlcc, perldoc, pl2pm, pod2html, pod2latex, pod2man,
  pod2text, s2p, and splain;  perl and suidperl are still enough for
  more recent FreeBSD versions [3];
- clean up created symlinks upon deinstallation [4];
- try to cleanup symlinks created by older versions of lang/perl5 and
  lang/perl5.8, during both installation and deinstallation [5];
- added support for DISABLE_BSDPAN environment variable [6];

(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )

1. Update to 5.8.4.
2. Make this port respect Makefile.local.
3. Transfer manpages to Makefile.man.
4. Move manpages for modules, included into distribution, into
   lib/perl5/PERL_VER/perl/man/man3, to eliminate file conflicts
   with p5 ports for modules included with perl.
5. Use PREFIX/SITE_PERL_REL instead of SITE_PERL in the Makefile.
6. Switch to bzipped sources.
7. Other small adjustments.
