Comment (by egall@…):

 Thinking of `perllocal.pod` files in general, one approach to them to
 consider could be Fink's, where there is a `podfiles` directory in
 `${prefix}/share` where all `perllocal.pod` files get put with the naming
 scheme of `perllocal.${name}.pod`. So for example, if MacPorts had used
 that approach in this case, the `perllocal.pod` file would get installed
 as `/opt/local/share/podfiles/perllocal.ikiwiki.pod`. Along with the ShuX
 pod viewer from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/camelbones/?source=navbar
 CamelBones], having all the `perllocal.pod` files organized in a single
 directory like that can make for an easy way to get a quick summary of all
 the perl modules installed in that prefix.  Although taking that approach
 would probably require messing with the perl5 PortGroup, so I guess it
 would probably be easier to just keep deleting the `perllocal.pod` files
 like this in the meantime...
