I disagree.  What would normally be installed into /usr/pkg/bin (the 
"script" directory for a perl module) is now installed into 
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/bin and then symlinked over into 
/usr/pkg/bin.  This allows installing perl modules that are also in the 
base perl distribution but that would also install scripts that, before 
these changes, would conflict with perl's own scripts, but would now 
simply be replaced via symlink instead.
