Comment(by vinc17 at macports.org):

 Replying to [comment:11 ricci@…]:
 >       I don't think we should switch to perl5.10 yet - as was noted its
 still in 'testing' and for those of us that use perl for "production" work
 using a 'testing' version is a Bad Thing(tm).

 With this reasoning, MacPorts should '''never''' replace a core module by
 a later version, because this later version is in ''testing'' (or worse).
 This means that the change of the @INC path '''must not''' be global, but
 should be done locally by software that needs later versions.
