+== port fails with: Image error: /opt/local/bin/a2p... == #perl5-image-error
+The perl ports are currently in flux, and can potentially cause issues resulting in the error message
+{{{
+Error: Activating perl5 5.8.8_0 failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/a2p is being used by the active perl5.8 port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.
+}}}
+The current method to get around this issue is to run
+{{{
+port -f uninstall perl5
+}}}
+then run your initial install command.
