Comment (by narf_tm at macports.org):

 I have always hated that these ports require you to use force.  Now we are
 trying to make that the practice to follow!?  Why aren't we fixing the
 Perl @INC order like other distros?  This allows Perl modules that are
 installed to take priority over the Perl base modules.  I have listed the
 paths for MacPorts and Debian below.  You can see that Debian has many
 locations Perl modules can be installed and used before the base Perl
 modules are used.  I think all the vendor paths should be moved to the top
 of the @INC list (this needs to be fixed in the perl5.8 Portfile).  Then
 all these ports can stop requiring force to be useful.

 macports @INC:
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl

 debian @INC:
 /etc/perl
 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8
 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8
 /usr/lib/perl5
 /usr/share/perl5
 /usr/lib/perl/5.8
 /usr/share/perl/5.8
 /usr/local/lib/site_perl
