Actually, in my opinion, naming the directories after their
PORTNAME preserves POLA. Therefore, the names should be
p5-CGI-modules
p5-CGI.pm
Also, as I've discussed with Anton, he will add pkg-req scripts
to both to prevent them from clobbering each other. It's
probably also a good idea to add a check in the scripts to allow
environment overriding of the safety precaution (i.e.: fun fun)
in case the person who adds it knows what they are doing (less
likely than the other case, not to mention these scripts would
also catch people who have ports depending on both for something).

You override @INC at some point. Simple enough.
