I agree this isn't right. Much of this is due to way the Globus build system
tries to deal with portability.

There are a few globus packages that install perl stuff:
globus-common, which installs ${perlmoduledir}/Globus/Core/{Config,Paths}.pm;
grid-packaging-tools, which installs .../Grid/GPT/*
globus-gram-*, for .../Globus/GRAM/*

It looks like the ${perlmoduledir} is almost exactly what ${perl5.lib}
(or ${perl5.archlib}) would be when using the perl5 PortGroup. Can we
somehow use ${perl5.lib} without all the side-effects of the perl5
PortGroup?

In any case globus-core seems to hardcode the perl module path,
so unless this is patched (I don't know how, yet) we will end up
having to hardcode this in the Portfile anyhow.

Cheers,

Dennis
