Thanks!

For example,

CONFLICTS+=    p5-CPAN-Meta<2.120921
#                       older for devel/p5-Module-CPANTS-Analyse

It means that CPAN::Meta in perl core is 2.120921, but
devel/p5-Module-CPANTS-Analyse require newer version (>=2.131490).

DEPENDS+=       p5-CPAN-Meta>=2.131490:../../devel/p5-CPAN-Meta

Now in perl5/Makefile,
CONFLICTS+=     p5-CPAN-Meta<2.140640

Then update dependency of devel/p5-Module-CPANTS-Analyse as following

DEPENDS+=       {perl>=5.19.1,p5-CPAN-Meta>=2.131490}:../../devel/p5-CPAN-Meta
(and drop "old for")

Find pkgsrc by name, ex, find IO::Compress::Gzip with p5-IO-Compress-Gzip.
If not found, try with p5-IO-Compress.
Then go to http://search.cpan.org/dist/IO-Compress/, and it is confirmed
that p5-IO-Compress contains IO::Compress::Gzip.
Moreover, it is noticed that this package also contains Compress::Zlib,
Then,
CONFLICTS+=    p5-IO-Compress<2.060            # IO::Compress::*, Compress::*

Yes, it should help us.

At least, for packages
* noted "older for" in lang/Makefile
* depending on modules removed from core
* depending on modules added to core
