Perl would be one of the major victims of having  
FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER always set.  Many Perl-related files are  
installed with a version in the pathname.

For example, when portupgrading after a perl upgrade, the dependency  
checks run by the port makefile look under the new version pathname  
rather than the old version one.  The port would find no file under  
the new version and so proceeds to install the dependency (which  
ordinarily would fail if FORCE_PKG_REGISTER is not set), leaving  
behind crusty remnants of the old version.
