Comment (by narf_tm at macports.org):

 I can't understand why the dependancy should be removed.  It IS a
 dependancy.  The Portfile doesn't have some_dependancies or
 most_dependancies.  I have been complaining about how MacPorts' Perl has
 handled installing modules for years.  Instead of fixing the real problem
 we are coming up with every way we can think of to get around it.  Like
 removing dependancies that aren't REALLY need just because nobody will fix
 the actual Perl install.  And then there is my favorite solution...  Let's
 have modules replace core modules buy requiring force.  Please read my
 reply to #12710.  I really think it is time to fix the real problem.
