I added the compile option to pm-020.conf but still portmanager treats
the port as OLD and wants to update. So the problem is still there
portmanager does not consider perl-threaded-5.8.7 and perl 5.8.7 to be
the same port. Portupgrade on the other hand sees it as the same port
and does not update it.

Well I guess that all I have left is to IGNORE the port in pm-020.conf.
