Dear porters,
I noticed the presence of the math/p5-Math-Trig port containing
version 0.02 of the module, dating back to 1997. This was committed
to cvs about two months ago, which strikes me as kind of odd, as
Math::Trig is a standard module which has been bundled with the
default perl install for all perl5 releases since at least
perl-5.005_03. It's up to version 1.01 by now. Compare:
http://search.cpan.org/author/JARW/Math-Trig-0.02/Trig.pm
http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/lib/Math/Trig.pm
Seems a bit superfluous to me. Is there some specific reason for
having this port?
Cheers,
Matthew
