I think your patch for p5-File-Temp:
.if ${PERL_LEVEL} > 500800
IGNORE= "This module is already included in perl 5.8.x and later."
.endif
is senseless and detrimental.
All p5-ports with IGNORE like "This module is already included in perl
X.Y.Z" should be cleaned up.
There is only one exception: if module on CPAN is completely obsolete
and it's version in perl distribution is and will be undoubtedly newer.
Typical examples are devel/p5-IO and devel/p5-Devel-DProf.
