 Hi,

 the following happens if I try to install software depending on p5
 -extutils-parsexs:
 {{{
 --->  Activating p5-extutils-parsexs @2.19_0
 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error:
 /opt/MacPorts/share/man/man3/ExtUtils::ParseXS.3pm.gz is being used by the
 active perl5.8 port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f
 flag to force the activation.
 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: p5-test-warn p5-array-
 compare p5-module-build p5-extutils-parsexs p5-module-signature p5-digest-
 sha p5-version p5-yaml p5-sub-uplevel p5-test-exception p5-test-simple p5
 -tree-dag_node
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}
 of course the following works, but its *NOT* nice:
 {{{
 dreamind at paris:~% sudo port activate -f p5-extutils-parsexs
 --->  Activating p5-extutils-parsexs
 Warning: File /opt/MacPorts/share/man/man3/ExtUtils::ParseXS.3pm.gz
 already exists.  Moving to:
 /opt/MacPorts/share/man/man3/ExtUtils::ParseXS.3pm.gz.mp_1234304728.
 }}}
 For some reason the man page is also in perl5.8.

 Greetings,

 Stefan

Comment:

 Dup of #12710.  Unfortunately an issue with several p5 ports.
