perl5.8 fixup

[Bradley Giesbrecht]

I have played around with my perl5.8 port and I have what appears to  
me to be a solution to the path collision/registry issue.

I modified my perl5.8 Portfile like so:

configure.args-append -D man1dir='/opt/local/share/man/man1' -D  
man1direxp='/opt/local/share/man/man1' -D man3dir='/opt/local/share/ 
man/man3' -D man3direxp='/opt/local/share/man/man3' -D  
installman1dir='/opt/local/share/man/man1perl58' -D installman3dir='/ 
opt/local/share/man/man3perl58' -D installsiteman1dir='/opt/local/ 
share/man/man1perl58' -D installsiteman3dir='/opt/local/share/man/ 
man3perl58' -D installvendorman1dir='/opt/local/share/man/man1perl58' - 
D installvendorman3dir='/opt/local/share/man/man3perl58' -D  
siteman1dir='/opt/local/share/man/man1perl58' -D siteman1direxp='/opt/ 
local/share/man/man1perl58' -D siteman3dir='/opt/local/share/man/ 
man3perl58' -D siteman3direxp='/opt/local/share/man/man3perl58' -D  
vendorman1dir='/opt/local/share/man/man1perl58' -D vendorman1direxp='/ 
opt/local/share/man/man1perl58' -D vendorman3dir='/opt/local/share/man/ 
man3perl58' -D vendorman3direxp='/opt/local/share/man/man3perl58'

configure.args-append -D man1ext='1p58' -D man3ext='31p58'




There may be more changes here then are necessary but I can confirm  
that just modifying the man ext values did not do it as the p5 modules  
also used this value.

I bumped the revision number of my perl5.8 port and did an upgrade and  
I received no errors and with the minimal testing I've done I can now  
install p5-cgi as an example without using -f.

I am no way qualified to even test if this approach produces more  
issues but so far I see non.

Basically I added man1perl58 and man3perl58 man dirs after reading up  
on man and seeing that other distros seem to add dirs to man. It  
appears that man is able to find my man pages and the extension change  
was just for safety and it might we might be able to do away with that  
addition to configure.args.

I added the configure.args as two appends so I could comment them out  
easily to for testing.

I hope someone with more perl5 knowledge then me can offer some  
comments as to whether this approach will work without producing other  
problems.

 From what I can tell, this is something that can be done as a  
revision upgrade to perl5.8 without changing anything else so port  
upgrade perl5.8 solves the whole problem as relates to collisions.
