w/ mod_perl hat (and p5p-), I think the largest obstacle really is setting CONFLICTS
and getting -exp runs.

I mean perl 5.10 compiles on freebsd.  Creating the port can be done fairly quickly.
leaving lang/perl5.8 as the default.  If portmgr@ wants to do an -exp run, I take a whack at it today.

Its going to react fairly similiar to the 5.8.9 import, the only differnce is *MORE*
modules are now dual life and in core.  Which means more ugly .if PERL_VER >.
