hmmm... indeed - would it be possible to make a perl5.8 port that uses a perl5.8-minimal and all the modules that would otherwise need to overwrite parts of the perl5.8 port?

Oh that's interesting, I don't know if we can do that or not. That's a really good idea if we can do it.

Perhaps we should check to see what freebsd ports does?

Or could we make perl give the "vendor" modules a higher precedence?

We can do this, but it makes the search order different from vanilla (non-macports) perl.

Does someone know which perl-ports need to replace parts of perl5.8?


I maintain two that do, but I'm not sure what else currently does (if we can do minimal perl with a bunch of ports to fill in the normal modules, we'll probably have to add a bunch of module ports).
