We have some other perl stuff that defies the case sensitive convention, 
but I don't like that either. :)  Also, is this thing a perl module? If 
so, then there should be a p5- prepended to the port name. THAT 
convention is well enough engrained to be outside dispute.

I think that your advice here was bad. All due respect. The value of 
having a consistent name space in the ports tree far exceeds the value 
of consistency with the path names of the installed software.

FWIW,
