Comment:

 Why does /opt/local/share/man/man3p/App::Prove.3pm already exist and not
 belong to a registered port? You can remove that file, but there will
 probably be hundreds of other interfering files. You can force the
 activation of perl5 to forcibly move those interfering files out of the
 way ("`sudo port -f activate perl5`") but they should not have been there
 in the first place and you may find the same problem later with other
 ports. If so, uninstall MacPorts completely using the instructions in the
 guide (including actually deleting /opt/local entirely), then install
 MacPorts again.
