vit broken by explicit perl dependency

Description
Here's the offending change: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/office/vit/files/patch-vit.pl.diff
22 months ago, vit.pl was changed to use '/usr/bin/env perl5.16'. Vit depends on the perl curses module which implies p5.16-curses, but that can't be installed because it is obsoleted. The vit package was (rightfully) updated to specify p5.22-curses as its dependency last year, but the vit.pl file was not updated. New installs are now broken.
Should vit.pl really specify a perl version at all? Why not just use the selected perl?

I updated the patch in r147828. The reason I specify the perl version because vit depends on p5.22-curses, and AFAIK i can't specify a dependency on a "current version" perl package. I'm closing the ticket since the bug is fixed, but feel free to discuss.
In the future, please fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (
port info --maintainers nco), if any.
