 Priority:  Normal                 |   Milestone:  Port Bugs             
Component:  ports                  |     Version:  1.6.0                 
 Keywords:                         |        Port:  p5-mac-carbon         
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 The cause is a dependency "port:p5-test-simple".

 p5-test-simple overwrites files of the perl5.8 installation, and this
 causes  the failure, if -f is not present. (test-simple depends
 on p5-test-harness, and that has the same problem as test-simple).

 It seems that p5-mac-carbon does not really need the port p5-test-simple,
 so it should be removed as a dependency. There were other ports which
 declared test-simple as a dependency even though they didn't really need
 it, and this is probably just another case.

 Port p5-test-simple does not provide additional packages, but rather an
 update of perl5.8 components. So only ports which depend on these updates
 have to use p5-test-simple. Many may well work without, even if they use
 Test::Simple package.
