portmaster manual says:
/var/db/pkg/*/+IGNOREME
If this file exists, several things will happen:
1. The port will be ignored for all purposes, including
dependency updates, if there is no directory for it in
/usr/ports, and there is no entry for it in
/usr/ports/MOVED.
I don't understand the if part. There _is_ a directory for lang/perl5.8
in ports, so the port _won't_ be ignored?
