Comment:

 Assigning to maintainer.

 Any port which uses the perl port group (which should be the vast majority
 of p5-* ports) will use an already-installed perl5.10 if available, but
 ghc specifically depends on perl5.8.  ghc could be updated to work like
 the perl modules by changing the perl dependency to:
 {{{
 depends_run path:${prefix}/bin/perl:perl5.8
 }}}
 Assuming it would work okay with 5.10
