I'd wager that 'pkg_info -l p5-Module-Giving-You-Trouble' says everything
is installed under ${LOCALBASE}/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.8.8 but that if you
run 'perl -v' the number 5.8.9 is prominently displayed.

Please read the UPDATING entry for 20090113, strike yourself upon the
forehead whilst crying "D'oh!" in a loud voice and then run
'perl-after-upgrade -f' as instructed.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
