  * Any real reason for this rule?  As a ports user, I really don't care
  * *where* something comes from.  I'll read the MASTER_SITES if I do.
 
 It's not so much "where" as in physical location, as it is about which 
 collection it comes from.  The CPAN archives have a distinct "taste"
 that we thought would be nice to be inferred from the package name.
 
  * However, as a budding Perl hacker (well I hope) I do care if a port is
  * for Perl5.
 
 If you are looking for perl ports to hack, just grep perl in
 ports/INDEX. :)
