Replying to [comment:29 mcalhoun@…]:
> Perhaps upon a perl5 upgrade (say 5.8.8 -> 5.10), post-activate can
search through ${prefix}/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/,[[BR]]
> find the ports which installed modules, then force a rebuild using
system call to "port -f upgrade ${port}".
This sort of thing has been suggested and tried before (for smoothing over
port name changes, for instance) but there are some problems with running
two instances of port simultaneously (and base/ wasn't designed for this -
so it would probably take as much effort or more to make this work right
as it would to make base/ support what needs to be done in a less hackish
way).
