p5-getopt-long and perl5.8 - activation error

[Michael Franz]

I am installing an application that somewhere along the line it has a
dependency on both p5-getopt-long and perl5.8. I do not know how these two
relate. All that I know at this point is that they conflict. I see that
there is a perl5.10. Is this version to be used instead of perl5.8? If so,
how do I get the dependent projects to use it?

Here is the build/install log with the final error.
---> Fetching apache-ant

... many lines and ports excluded. I can send the complete log if necessary.
