Furthermore ${PERL_VER} contains 5.8.0 as long as you didn't update your
/etc/make.conf (which could be easily done by adding
'lang/perl5*' => 'use.perl port',
to the AFTERINSTALL hash in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
So, even if the dependend packages would be updated, the will fail to
install, 'cause they will be stored in
${LOCALBASE}/lib/perl/site_perl/5.8.0/
