There is the issue that the user must modify his or her manpath.
An alternate solution is to rename the manpages.

The ticket originally opened to deal with this problem is
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12950
.
In it, I posted patches which will reorder @INC.
I also posted a patch for p5-test-simple to go along with it.
The module is installed with perl, but p5-test-simple is a newer version.
It avoids manpage conflicts by renaming the manpages.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
