Comment(by dluke at macports.org):
Replying to [comment:15 vinc17@…]:
> With this reasoning, MacPorts should '''never''' replace a core module
by a later version, because this later version is in ''testing'' (or
worse). This means that the change of the @INC path '''must not''' be
global, but should be done locally by software that needs later versions.
That would only be true if the module authors only released 'stable'
versions of those modules with 'stable' versions of perl (which isn't the
case).
So, while I appreciate the attempt at argument (and even agree with the
conclusion of having perl5.10 be the default), it doesn't really follow
the same logic.
