 Then of course the ikiwiki files would land in the correct perl version -
 if the installation itself would go through even! Again, the problem are
 missing packages there.

 Ok, so we have a fix for one of the two problems; modifying the portfile
 will allow ikiwiki to go to the right place.  Take that code I stuck in
 post-patch and stick it in pre-configure, and have it set "configure.bin".
 I still think the "modules not in @INC" problem is really a perl problem,
 not an ikiwiki problem.

 Got you beat there; mine is an original Core Duo.

 for a python-based ports where the situation with all the different
 py24-*, py25-* and py26-* ports is even worse. It would all be much, much
 easier if people like me wouldn't fear upgrading so much and we could just
 use binary packages.

 I agree; Python is just as bad.  I have 3 pythons on my system: the Mac OS
 X default, the one Scisoft installed in /Applications/scisoft, and the one
 Plone (or maybe Trac) installed somewhere in /usr/local (but not
 /usr/local/bin).  Which one you get depends on your $PATH, and they each
 have a different module subset installed.
