The file in question is from the p5-pathtools port, it supplies a newer(but still compatible) version of a library that is included with thenormal perl distribution. Due to some peculiarities with how perl searches for libraries, it is necessary to overwrite the provided version with thenew version for most software to be able to load it.This is incorrect. The user can control the way modules are searched for.
It's not incorrect, it's just a simplification.(unless we want to patch all existing software that depends on updates to perl-distributed modules being installed in this way, or change the search ordering for macports-provided perl we don't really have another good option).
