Nothing to do oh, freebsd-perl stay in bat!

As perl submajor version grows the more modules installed from ports earlier
appear in privlib and archlib, together with the perl package.
As a result the duplicate copies of the same modules do exist on an @INC.
Am I right to say it's a wrong thing and a subject to care about?

Here is the code that lists you such a perl modules on your freebsd system:

https://github.com/petr999/inclusure/blob/15858e27adf627cc674069c3de94eb8b068812f0/inclusure.pl

I believe that issue impacts every system migrated from 5.8.
Shall I propose a script to delete such a packages then?
