My path to p5's looks like this:
	/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.9/

Wouldn't the full path including the version dir need to be added to  
PERL5LIB?

Are you suggesting using this in Portfiles?

If so I guess we would need to test for which version of perl is  
active and then set the path.

Could a macports perl5 port group do that?

If I have perl5.8 active and install a p5 and then deactivate perl5.8  
and activate perl5.10 should I expect my p5 to be active and functional?
