Hi, I've got a comment on the perl5.6.1 port.  According to the CVS logs 
for the port, at version 5.6.1_7, you added code to Install.pm to force 
install all the files to make it easier to cleanup afterwards.

I would like to request it be restored back, since upgrading a perl 
install this way stomps all over any other modules upgraded since the 
original instal.  For example, CGI.pm has been significatnly updated 
since perl 5.6.1 came out, but if I reinstall it via the port, the 
updated one gets reverted.  Ditto for CPAN.pm.

At the least, I would appreciate if this feature could be made optional; 
it makes upgrading the perl port painful to have to re-upgrade my module 
collection.

For now, I guess I'll just manually back out the patch for this "feature".

Thanks.
