Comment(by ricci@…):

 Indeed, something I was thinking might be a problem.  Looking at the
 perl5.10 port, it (port 5.10) installs its man pages with '-5.10' appended
 to the name of the file.  The same change could be applied to perl5.8 to
 avoid these conflicts.  While I'd rather find a better solution (I haven't
 yet), any reason to not make such a change to perl5.8?  I can see a
 problem for people trying to find a man page for, say, CGI and not knowing
 they need to do 'man CGI-5.8' (or CGI-5.10 in the case of perl5.10),
 beyond that... ?
