Please point me to appropriate section of pkgsrc.txt and pkg_info(1).
In the documentation I don't see what write below or something wrong.

Ok.

I'm sorry, but you skipped 'perl>=5.10'. Why? It is in the first
position.  By the way, "go to either X or Y" logic leads me to cyclic
dependency. This is why I started this thread. On the other hand "go to
X because it is in the first position" doesn't get me a correct PKGPATH
for it (perl).
