I'm afraid you mis-understood me. With "current", I meant "the version 
included in this checkout of pkgsrc".

I don't get that.
If I have 5.14 installed and build a package containing a Perl Module 
from a pkgsrc checkout that includes 5.16, I get 5.16 built because I 
get a dependency on perl>=5.16<5.18, don't I?
