Comment(by sewebster@…):
Ok. Well, I would try uninstalling some stuff. For instance, maybe get
rid of perl5.10 if you don't need it. Then I would probably uninstall p5
-xml-parser and reinstall it. Hopefully this will put it into the right
place and all will be well.
I would probably remove whatever links you've made first so that macports
will be sure to install the new versions (though probably it would
anyway). Also, you may have to use the -f switch to force macports to
uninstall active ports when they have dependents. This should be ok if
you reinstall it right after.
Note that everything in /opt/local/var/macports/software is not really
"installed," or perhaps more accurately, "activated." So it is not being
used. Macports "destroots" things into that directory and then only links
the files into the main /opt/local tree when they are activated. So
despite you having the file in a 5.8.9 directory on your system, it is not
being used from there.
