Comment (by narf_tm at macports.org):
There are plenty of other ports that require newer versions of the modules
than the Perl core provides. This will only get worse as Perl 5.10 gets
traction. I really think this needs to be fixed now. I am tired of this
being broken. Every other *nix distro I use has managed to get this
right... why not MacPorts?
The vendor path we use should be first in the @INC order. Again, see my
reply to #10978.
Just because something is included with Perl, doesn't mean the module no
longer depends on it.
I personally would rather my modules use the newest version of
dependancies over the ones that are included with the core.
Otherwise, you have to live with a bug in the module until Perl decides to
make another release.
