 Only the first time each module gets updated (i.e. whenever a module gets
 removed from the Perl port, but only in such cases). I don't think that
 would be too often in practice.

 Does that also solve the problem for binaries and man pages? IMHO, it is
 possible to install them in another place too. The user would have to add
 the corresponding path to his .profile (or similar rc file). However, he
 has already needed to do that for ${prefix}/bin.

 > Can we open this option up for discussion?

 If you're OK with the above, yes.

 It would be possible with a meta-port that would depend on both the Perl
 core port and the module port, and p5-getopt-long would depend on the Perl
 core port. BTW, I don't know if a depends_run p5-getopt-long could be
 added for the Perl core port (I'd say that there should be no problems
 with cycles in run dependencies), though this shouldn't be completely
 necessary.
