 This was just corrected, but it doesn't provide the correct version of
 perl ... the current version requests the port 'perl5' instead of
 'perl5.8' ... the latter is more up to date, and I think is what is
 desired since it is what older versions of autoconf required.  This patch
 file changes the dependency to use port 'perl5.8'.

 If the current behavior is desired, then it would be wise to update other
 ports that depend on 'perl5.8' to then use 'perl5' instead.  As should be
 obvious, 'port' cannot have both perl ports installed at the same time, so
 please choose to use one or the other for all ports.  Thanks! - MLD
