Comment (by tlockhart1976@…):

 Replying to [comment:11 mojca@…]:
 > Uninstall perl5.18 and try to install p5.18-sgmlspm again. The problem
 only occurs if perl wasn't installed beforehand. (Because `perl5.lib`
 isn't defined.)
 Unfortunately, I am not seeing that failure after explicitly uninstalling
 perl5.18. If I then install p5.16-sgmlspm then perl5.16 gets installed and
 there are no errors. Is there something left over from the original
 installation of perl5.16 which allows this to now succeed??

 change if we change Perl packaging.)

 Yuck. There is very little in this package besides that program. And in
 looking at the contents list I see that this conflicts with everything
 anyway since it installs some libraries under "/opt/local/lib/perl5/".

 Any thoughts on how to structure the "conflicts" statement in the
 portfile?
