This port, among other things, installs a script to ${LOCALBASE}/bin, and puts its manpage to ${PREFIX}/lib/perl5/${PERL_VERSION}/man/man1. I wonder whether this is the correct place to install the manpage, or not. There might be the following points of view: 1. It's a wrong place. If the script is in bin/, the manpage should be in man/man1/. 2. It's the right place, but the port should @unexec rmdir %D/lib/perl5/${PERL_VERSION}/man/man1, since this directory is not in the BSD.local.dist mtree. 3. It's the right place, and BSD.local.dist should list man/man1 for perl, as it now lists man/man3. 4. p5 ports should not install executables (just kidding). I do not know what to choose, though (1) or (3) look better for me than the rest. Comments? Cheers, %Anton. -- May the tuna salad be with you.
