With the current version of lang/perl5.8, we take some care that a typical p5 port does not overwrite things that are installed by perl itself, namely: - *.pm files from p5 ports go to SITE_PERL, while *.pm files from perl itself go to PERL_VER; - *.3 files from p5 ports go to ${PREFIX}/lib/perl5/${PERL_VERSION}, while *.3 files from perl itself go to ${PREFIX}/lib/perl5/${PERL_VERSION}/perl This nice separation breaks when we come to binaries and their manpages, and using the same trick as above does _not_ look like a good solution. Mind you, all this becomes a problem with a rather limited subset of all p5 ports. The best solution I can see is to rip off the "standard" perl distribution completely. Then we will have lang/perl5.X-minimal ports, and lang/perl5.X meta ports that will depend on corresponding perl5.X-minmal port and on the right p5 ports to achieve the result similar to the current "standard" perl distribution. Unfortunately, I don't think that we can get rid of all perl modules in the minimal port, and if we cannot, then we absolutely must have MakeMaker in the perl port, since this one is needed for building each and every one of the rest. Good suggestions are welcome, and I hope I was not too dense in this mail. \Anton. -- The moronity of the universe is a monotonically increasing function. -- Jarkko Hietaniemi
