When I tried to install p5-test-harness, I got the error:

The bug reappeared in 2.64_1. Overwriting files installed by the perl5.8 port is not a solution as this will break if perl5.8 is deactivated/reactivated (by the user, or automatically via an upgrade). Conflicts should be resolved with variants or alternate directories.

It can't. At least, not now. If we do not overwrite things from perl5.8 port, then the ports which provides modules already bundled in perl are useless because vendorlib directory comes last in the include search path.
