Comment(by mlk at alum.mit.edu):

 Ah.  So is "perl5" the new "perl5.8" and soon-to-be version 5.10 as well?
 In other words, should I be updating my MacPorts install of perl from
 "perl5.8" to "perl5", even though they conflict right now?  I would have
 hoped that the slight change in the autoconf Portfile would not have made
 such a big deal ... that "perl5" and "perl5.8" would first have been
 revised so that they didn't conflict.

 Oddly enough, this latest autoconf installed even without "perl5" being
 fully installed, probably because ${prefix}/bin/perl is already there
 (provided by "perl5.8").

 Thanks for helping to straighten out the perl issue; I hope it comes
 smoothly and soon, so-as to avoid the issue this ticket is regarding - in
 other ports at least.
