The COMMENT is no longer well-formed English grammar.  I suggest
reverting the change or perhaps rewriting it to something more
concise, such as "Module that declares real exception classes in Perl"
or "Real exception classes in Perl".

How much port description rewriting should be done beyond the
suggestions in the Porter's Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#makefile-comment)?
 I don't have a problem with the original comment, including the word
"you", and in this case it seems more of a PITA to rewrite it to omit
that word and result in correct English.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Greg
