 I was updating my ports (using "port selfupdate") and got the following
 error message:

 "--->  Computing dependencies for perl5.10Error: Couldn't activate
 perl5.10 5.10.1_1: Can't install perl5.10 because conflicting ports are
 installed: perl5.8"

 I had perl5.10.1 installed before, but it was deactivated by Ports (when I
 performed the selfupdate) and now when I am trying to install it, I am
 getting the same error message. -d option didn't add any more information.

 I do have perl5.8 installed, but want to have both perl5.8 and perl5.10.1
