Is there a standard way to make applications that depend on perl

I think the best solution would be to create a variant, unless you
are referring to ports that depend on perl as a build dependency?
No variant, please; not for this. As was already said, just declare
the dependency on perl as "path:bin/perl:perl5". That's the new style
we're trying to switch all perl-depending ports to. See:
