But these ports want to install binaries into ${prefix}/bin, not just  
perl modules.


p5-test-harness wants to install prove:

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /mp/bin/ 
prove is being used by the active perl5.8 port.  Please deactivate  
this port first, or use 'port -f activate p5-test-harness' to force  
the activation.


p5-podlators wants to install pod2man and pod2text:

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /mp/bin/ 
pod2man is being used by the active perl5.8 port.  Please deactivate  
this port first, or use 'port -f activate p5-podlators' to force the  
activation.


How do we accommodate this?
