Change the way Perl modules are installed, update the default Perl to 5.18.
Before, we had: site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18 site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3 Now we have: site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3 Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the Perl version, minimizing the upgrade when the major Perl version is changed. It uses a version dependent directory for modules with compiled bits. As PERL_ARCH is no longer needed in plists, it has been removed from PLIST_SUB. The USE_PERL5=fixpacklist keyword is removed, the .packlist file is now always removed, as is perllocal.pod. The old site_perl and site_perl/arch directories have been kept in the default Perl @INC for all Perl ports, and will be phased out as these old Perl versions expire.

+ The way Perl modules are installed has changed. Before, we had
+
+ site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
+ site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
+ perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
+
+ Now we have :
+
+ site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
+ site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
+ perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
+
+ Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the
+ Perl version, minimizing the upgrade when the major Perl version is changed.
+ It uses a version dependent directory for modules with compiled bits.
+
+ As PERL_ARCH is no longer needed in plists, it has been removed from
+ PLIST_SUB.
+
+ The USE_PERL5=fixpacklist keyword is removed, the .packlist file is now
+ always removed, as is perllocal.pod.
+
+ The old site_perl and site_perl/arch directories have been kept in the
+ default Perl @INC for all Perl ports, and will be phased out as these old
