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.
