 Replying to [ticket:65429 ballapete]:
 > Why is `port` not asking the same when it is working with the sources?

 p5.x-module-build is (after the aforementioned change to the perl5
 portgroup) a build dependency. When you ask MacPorts to build things from
 source, it must install or upgrade build dependencies first. On the other
 hand, when MacPorts can use pre-built binaries, then it does not need the
 build dependencies.
