The following reply was made to PR ports/66387; it has been noted by GNATS.

NetBSD has it as databases/p5-perl-ldap: <ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/databases/p5-perl-ldap/README.html>; OpenBSD uses databases/p5-ldap: <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/databases/p5-ldap>; Gentoo has dev-perl/perl-ldap: <http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=dev-perl;name=perl-ldap>; I guess people coming from ldap.perl.org will find it quickly, others searching for Net::LDAP will need a bit more time, and people usings ports won't care because the dependencies are taken care of for them. I might have followed your suggestion if this were a new port, but I don't believe the given rationale justifies the effort of an repocopy. -Oliver
