And what is wrong with plperl?
It builds and works for me with postgresql 9.0. For example, without
pl/perl PostgreSQL's dbilink module will not work.

If you check out the "overview" page, it says the package name is:

     postgresql-plperl-8.2.22_2

It evidently works with PostgreSQL 8.2, which (as I understand it) is
being deprecated by the PostgreSQL project itself.  I think this plperl
deprecation is based on the fact the plperl package in question is for
PostgreSQL 8.2, though of course, I'm not 100% certain that's all there
is to it, and I do not know how this all applies to later versions of
PostgreSQL.  Perhaps someone else can provide more information.

As I understand, the same port (databases/p5-postgresql-plperl) works for different PostgreSQL version. It can be built with databases/postgresqlXX-server. So, if you just don't deliver postgresql-perl-8.2.22_2 PACKAGE, I don't care. But don't drop the PORT. You just need to change DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER?=82 in its Makefile to DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER?=84 and forget about it.
