Trying to using Bionic for perl project, however Xenial binaries show up instead. Build headers show Bionic is specified but not used.

This long-standing bug seems to have been fixed recently, but now it is showing other gaps in Perl coverage: [Perl 5.28 not available on bionic](https://travis-ci.community/t/perl-5-28-not-available-on-bionic/7253)

Thanks for the update. Agreeing / confirming this particular bug is fixed for me.

Also seeing the missing perl versions support, will report details in your thread.
