I'd like to suggest that we make a new collection inside of the ports repository for perl modules. We don't have many right now (well, 1 to be exact), but I have 4 ready for import, each of which took about 10 minutes to create. perl5 includes an imake-like tool called MakeMaker, so porting them is a piece of cake. Once installed, they even include a packing list, making the generation of pkg/PLIST a simple task. On my own, I can see turning out 10 or so of these each week. Since there are over 100 modules right now, it would make a welcome addition to the repository. I realize I've asked at an inopportune time because of Satoshi's vacation, but I had these on my list for a while and didn't realize until last night how easy they are to port. -- j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James FitzGibbon james@nexis.net | | Integrator, The Nexis Group Voice/Fax : 416 410-0100 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
