After upgrading my perl5.8 port to 5.8.8_2, I'm getting a conflict

having this problem?

You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it
needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port

sudo port -df activate p5-test-harness
that will "force" the activation. This is normal for pearl. There are
a fair number of pearl modules that work this way.

I don't know enough about macports yet to comment on the macports-
specific issues at hand. But let me note that Perl 5.8.0 was
released in July 2002 and Test::Harness was one of its core modules.
Both Perl and Test::Harness have evolved considerably since then. In
particular, Test::Harness underwent a major change at version 2.64 --
precisely the version noted in the message above. The current stable
release of Perl is 5.10 (released December 2007) and the version of
Test::Harness that accompanied Perl 5.10 is basically the same as
that in 2.64.
