No, the problem is things like:
p5-Net-DNS-0.72                Perl5 interface to the DNS resolver,
and dynamic updates
p5-Net-DNS-SEC-0.16            DNSSEC extensions to Net::DNS

The behind-the-scenes change caused "p5-Net-DNS-0.72" to have files in
different locations depending on when it was built.  Then the @INC
paths don't match and stuff catches fire.

peter at canning[9:00pm]~-103> pkg info -l p5-Net-DNS-0.72
...
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/mach/Net/DNS/ZoneFile.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/mach/auto/Net/DNS/.packlist
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/mach/auto/Net/DNS/DNS.bs
...
and if I force rebuild it now, it has different contents with the same
version number.  And it won't work unless you remember to do so.
