Yes.  But I think users expect that if they usually download a
tarball called "CGI.pm-4.521616" they'll expect a p5-CGI.pm
directory.

Well, I'm not going to address the issue that other p5- ports
might be so inconsistently named, but that's no reason to do this
the wrong way too.  :)

If there are others that don't call the dir p5-$PORTNAME, we'll
address them case by case since there may be a good reason not to.
