while playing with qpkg -c -mc I realized that dev-lang/perl installs man3-pages whose are also installed by perl modules.  Here are some of these files owns by dev-lang/perl and ...

... dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1:
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::VMS.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::Cygwin.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::Epoc.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::Functions.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::Unix.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::Win32.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::Mac.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec::OS2.3pm.gz !md5!

... dev-perl/Test-Simple-0.47-r1:
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Simple.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Tutorial.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Builder.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::More.3pm.gz !md5!

... dev-perl/Test-Harness-2.28-r1:
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Harness::Assert.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Harness.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Harness::Straps.3pm.gz !md5!
/usr/share/man/man3/Test::Harness::Iterator.3pm.gz !md5!


That's why I got :

# qpkg -v -f /usr/share/man/man3/Test::Harness::Assert.3pm.gz
dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12 *
dev-perl/Test-Harness-2.28-r1 *


The output shows 2 packages for the same file.
Is this ok ?

Expected Results:  
Files should only owns by one package

This is fine. One set is from the original core install of perl, the modules are newer versions of the same module.
