 i am writing this to capture the issue for review by those that know more
 than I about port dependencies

 i leave this as a defect as there is no Ticket Type of  "Info Only"

 please refer to Tickets #28565 #28569 and #28564 for the background

 I see now that i should have followed ryandesign's comment more closely ..
 he said to deact 5.8 and then activate perl5.  I wound up being able to
 upgrade apache2 as i wanted to .. after this forced activation of perl5.

 I am hoping that the version of corelist that got installed is compatible
 with the one that was moved aside.
