The reason this is a problem is that perl is considered sustained software (I
forget why, any ideas?).  I believe perl won't compile properly if it exists
during the compilation, so conflicts was supposed to take care of this, but it
will not dispel itself due to being sustained.

Ideas? Corrections?
