ok, I'm the maintainer of erlang/tsung. It needs
Template Toolkit. TT in turns has these dependencies:

p5-test-harness
p5-test-simple
p5-appconfig
p5-file-homedir
p5-mac-carbon

and test-harness already wants to step onto perl5.8
property. Is there anything I can do or should I just
throw together a README.MacPorts for tsung how to break
your perl installation with style?
