Hrm. On closer investigation (and edification by tobez), this particular
patch should *NOT* be committed.
These ported Perl modules do _not_ overwrite core Perl modules. Perl
modules supplied with the Perl distributions on FreeBSD (system on 4.x,
ports/lang/perl5{,.8} on 5.x) are installed in PRIVLIB, and 3rd-party
(ports-)modules in SITELIB. For instance, p5-Digest-MD5 has an explicit
"CONFIGURE_ARGS= INSTALLDIRS=site" for this purpose.
The FreeBSD Perls have SITELIB before PRIVLIB in @INC, so installed
ports-modules overshadow any core modules.
We still need the dependencies, so that ports-modules will get upgraded
when necessary.
At least, that's how I understand it.
