| 
| With my dinkering around with perl5.8.2, I've run into something of a
| problem.
| 
| A number of ports, so far I have found:
| 
| 	converters/p5-MIME-Base64
| 	devel/p5-Storable
| 	devel/p5-Test-Harness
| 	devel/p5-Test-Simple
| 	devel/p5-Time-HiRes
| 	net/p5-Net
| 	security/p5-Digest-MD5
| 
| are also part of the lang/perl5.8 port.  Some of the ports are newer
| than those in perl5.8, others are the same, still others are older.
| 
| However, what this does mean, that the following sequence:
| 
| 	cd ${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5.8; make install
| 	cd ${PORTSDIR}/{one-of-the-ports-above}; make install deinstall
| 
| will end up removing parts of lang/perl5.8 port, resulting in much
| hilarity.
| 
| With our local ports tree, I've simply added code to these ports to tag
| them as BROKEN for appropriate PERL_VERSION value, and then start the
| slow slog through the rest of the ports/packages we build to adjust
| dependencies accordingly, when a port tries to bring in one of these
| "troublemakers" as a dependency.
| 
| This is a pretty disgusting hack, so I'm soliciting comments as to the
| right way to do this.

I'd say just put a :
CONFIGURE_ARGS=        INSTALLDIRS=site
to those which are newer and the same, and update the older ones.
