If MacPorts provides a newer version of a module than the base Perl, then Perl should pick that one up by default. I don't like the few modules we have that clobber files from other ports, as this is just messy.
What about when the module author changes the API?
There could be a rule for such ports: accept bug fixes only. I suppose that if the module author changes the API, it would clearly be announced, in particular for a core module. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
