p5-pathtools activation blocked because of perl5.8 port

[remi.thebault@…]

Installing the Gimp, I had this error :

---> Building p5-pathtools with target all ---> Staging p5-pathtools into destroot You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port ---> Installing p5-pathtools 3.25_0 ---> Activating p5-pathtools 3.25_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level/Cwd.pm is being used by the active perl5.8 port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

The solution for carry on the installation is :

$ sudo port uninstall p5-pathtools

---> Uninstalling p5-pathtools 3.25_0

$ sudo port install -f p5-pathtools

I had the same problem with p5-getopts-long, a ticket already exists on this topic : ​http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12875

Just force the installation.

As long has we don't agree to either add extra informations to portfiles, or patch the defaul perl @INC path, I'll not fix that.
