If someone can do this, we can delete the p5-Pg port. Alternatively (this is what I'm helping someone do with mysql, which should be done tommorrow), we could have two ports that rely on the same distfile (the PostgreSQL source). The downside to building and installing the perl5 module as part of the postgresql source is a) not everyone wants it b) postgresql will now require perl5.004 to be installed, which is unnecessary overhead for a lot of people. PostgreSQL isn't exactly a lightweight port as it stands. Either way, let me know so that we can decide the fate of p5-Pg. -- j.
