Grumbling is fine, I do it everyday :-p

Well, it'd be better if People who have a clue about Perl are the one
trying not to break them :-)
Also, like Bryan said, everybody can join.

To be fair, they don't change often, portscout[1] reports about a couple
every day, it takes about five minutes to get them updated.  There are a
couple in that list that don't get updated, mostly because one needs oracle
and the other needs the X server you're going to run it to build.  Also,
the vast majority of Perl ports are *very* easy to maintain, it's as simple
as it can get.
