After upgrading my perl5.8 port to 5.8.8_2, I'm getting a conflict with the p5-test-harness port. Ultimately, I'm trying to install p5- dbi but the dependency chain breaks on p5-test-harness. Anyone else having this problem?

You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port

sudo port -df activate p5-test-harness

that will "force" the activation. This is normal for pearl. There are a fair number of pearl modules that work this way.
