Unless someone perl wise explains why they need to be there in the  
first place it's a flaw in the port that put them there.

Where do they come from?

I'm going to wipe /opt and do a clean install to find out.

Something is clearly wrong.

Is it true that if I want to install assp as an example, and assp  
relies on p5-z thru p5-z, and I call port like so "port -f install  
assp" that the -f flag does not apply to the deps?

If so, then I have to install all the failed p5 deps by hand with -f.

If not, holy cow. I just ran -f on a whole chain of installs.
