 Hrm. On closer investigation (and edification by tobez), this particular 
 patch should *NOT* be committed.
 
 These ported Perl modules do _not_ overwrite core Perl modules. Perl 
 modules supplied with the Perl distributions on FreeBSD (system on 4.x, 
 ports/lang/perl5{,.8} on 5.x) are installed in PRIVLIB, and 3rd-party 
 (ports-)modules in SITELIB. For instance, p5-Digest-MD5 has an explicit 
 "CONFIGURE_ARGS= INSTALLDIRS=site" for this purpose.
 
 The FreeBSD Perls have SITELIB before PRIVLIB in @INC, so installed 
 ports-modules overshadow any core modules.
 
 We still need the dependencies, so that ports-modules will get upgraded 
 when necessary.
 
 At least, that's how I understand it.
