Greetings,
I have some old code I'm trying to get running again. It uses the
Perl module HTML::TreeBuilder (aka www/p5-HTML-Tree).
I did the following:
# pkg install p5-HTML-Tree
which completed with no problems, but now it appears that my installed
version of HTML::TreeBuilder craps out at:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/HTML/TreeBuilder.pm line 59.
Looking at that source line, I see the following:
use HTML::Entities ();
I have looked in my ports tree to see if an appropriate port/pkg might
be available to satisfy this dependency, but all I am finding is these
things, none of which appear to fit the bill:
textproc/p5-HTML-Entities-ImodePictogram
textproc/p5-HTML-Entities-Interpolate
textproc/p5-HTML-Entities-Numbered
textproc/p5-HTML-HTML5-Entities
textproc/p5-MathML-Entities
textproc/p5-XML-DoubleEncodedEntities
textproc/p5-XML-Entities
Shouldn't the installation of a particular pre-built package such as
the p5-HTML-Tree force all of its dependencies to also be automagically
installed?
How do I fix this problem?
The descr file associated with the textproc/p5-HTML-HTML5-Entities package
says:
HTML::HTML5::Entities is a pure Perl, drop-in replacement for HTML::Ent=
ities,
providing the character entities defined in HTML5.
So should I just install that and then manually exit the source line
quoted above so that it says instead:
use HTML::HTML5::Entities ();
?
