 * From: Anton Berezin <tobez@plab.ku.dk>

 * The striking example I can mention was when I installed a
 * port completely unrelated to perl (sorry, don't remember
 * which one) which happened to use perl in order to produce
 * some docs of itself.  That time I already had 5.005_02 installed
 * from perl distribution.  To my horror, the port happily began
 * to install 5.004_04;  all that was actually needed was _some_
 * perl5, and the port failed to recognize I already have one.

That's because you were using the port that was verified (by us) for
5.004_04, or an old bsd.port.mk.  Either way, it's a pilot error. :)
