p5-podlators contains essentially the same set of modules as are
installed as a standard part of perl-5.8.5. In fact, the p5-podlators
port will try and overwrite some files claimed by the perl-5.8.5 port.
There's no point in installing both.
Just deinstall the p5-podlators port, and re-install perl-5.8.5 and
all will be well. Even if you subsequently go and install a port with
an explicit dependency on p5-podlators, the ports system will detect
that the module is available even though it was installed as part of a
different port. Other than occasionally having to run 'pkgdb -F'
there won't be any downside.
Cheers,
Matthew
