Oh.  Also, remember we will have to support 2.2.8 for quite awhile (at
least until 3.1 is out) with packages-stable.

You mean you're going to change the perl5 port as well as the version
imported to /usr/src to be like the previous version (i.e., no version 
numbers in directories)?

By the way, I'll really appreciate it if you can tell me these things
beforehand.  I was completely blindsided by the new perl5 commit which
broke over a hundred ports.  I just spent a couple of hours fixing up
devel/p5-* (testing the new bsd.port.mk too, of course).  Now you're
telling me it was all unnecessary? ;)
