Comment (by vinc17 at macports.org):

 It is not a dependency as the Perl core already provides the modules:
 {{{
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/Harness
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/Harness/Assert.pm
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/Harness/Iterator.pm
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/Harness/Point.pm
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/Harness/Straps.pm
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/Harness/TAP.pod
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Test/Harness.pm
 }}}
 (FYI, this dependency doesn't exist in Debian for the libarchive-tar-perl
 package, so that there should be no problem to use the versions provided
 by the core.)

 Using "force" is not a solution and should never be recommended as it is
 dangerous, may break other ports (because some files from perl5.8 have
 been changed), and this will break perl5.8 upgrades.

 In any case, p5-test-harness is broken (and no-one wants to fix it) and a
 port should not depend on a broken port.
