I personally vote to add for all new versions of p5-* modules next line 
to Makefile:
DIST_SUBDIR=	perl5

This transition is transparent enough for end-users. Massive one-stage 
change for all p5-ports will produce unnecessary distfiles refetching.

I suppose we must make decision about this PR.

This proposal can be official policy or should be rejected with 
justification for refusal. Technically every maintainer can add your own 
DIST_SUBDIR lines without any violations of "Porters handbook".

One more argument to accept explicit p5-subdir is simple consideration 
to avoid collisions with other languages. Currently this is not the case 
but I think this approach must be standard for all "dynamic" languages 
like Perl, Python and Ruby (or, even C# ;)
