Missing step:
     * Remove the conflicting modules from the perl5.8-core port

It allows to update/install p5-* ports without touching perl5.8-core, as
they are no longer part of this port.

I have to say, I did not test if this would work at all. Our install
mechanism for p5-* requires a working perl, but I am not sure if
perl5.8-core without modules would be enough for it to work. Testing
required.
