To make it interesting I ran the dependents command:
@naiad ~] port dependents perl5.8
perl5.8 has no dependents!
Hmmm...

You can run 'port dependents perl5.8' to find out what on your system
still needs it. I can see that perl5 has a perl5_10 variant, and also
that on my system perl5 depends upon perl5.8 directly. Looking into
the actual PortFile for perl5, the variant perl5_10 removes the
dependency on perl5.8 and replaces it with a dependency for perl5.10.
You may need to re-install perl5 with the +perl5_10 assuming no other
ports are dependent upon perl5.8 (again, checked with the dependents
command at the beginning of this paragraph).

I'm running Macports Perl v5.10.1. I do not have a 5.8 variant

install 5.8.9_3, which of course, fails to install/activate. I'm
not certain
what is dependent upon 5.8.9 but would rather see everything bumped
to 5.10.
Suggestions?
