I am installing an application that somewhere along the line it has

these two relate. All that I know at this point is that they
conflict. I see that there is a perl5.10. Is this version to be
used instead of perl5.8? If so, how do I get the dependent projects
to use it?
Here is the build/install log with the final error.

Thats how perl works when adding so-to-speak extensions.
Just do:
sudo port -df activate p5-getopt-long
as indicated by the error mesg above.
