As the

The problem is not that the error message isn't clear. It's that you
don't expect to get error messages during port installations unless
your port system is messed up. There's no indication that this
particular error is expected.
hmmm... indeed - would it be possible to make a perl5.8 port that uses
a perl5.8-minimal and all the modules that would otherwise need to
overwrite parts of the perl5.8 port? Or could we make perl give the
"vendor" modules a higher precedence?
Does someone know which perl-ports need to replace parts of perl5.8?
