There's an update of the www/p5-HTML-Embperl port by Alex Kapranoff.
This port, among other things, installs a script to ${LOCALBASE}/bin,
and puts its manpage to ${PREFIX}/lib/perl5/${PERL_VERSION}/man/man1. I
wonder whether this is the correct place to install the manpage, or not.
There might be the following points of view:
1. It's a wrong place. If the script is in bin/, the manpage should be
in man/man1/.
2. It's the right place, but the port should @unexec rmdir
%D/lib/perl5/${PERL_VERSION}/man/man1, since this directory is not in
the BSD.local.dist mtree.
3. It's the right place, and BSD.local.dist should list man/man1 for
perl, as it now lists man/man3.
4. p5 ports should not install executables (just kidding).
I do not know what to choose, though (1) or (3) look better for me than
the rest.
Comments?
Cheers,
%Anton.
