Argh. It is not, it is simply not complete. The author of the module
is apparently fed up with `use vars qw($bla)' syntax and uses
5.6.0-specific `our $bla' instead.
Now, I can do one of two things:
a) mark it as broken on -stable
or
b) patch Extra.pm more, replacing all `our $bla' to their equivalents;
there are six occurences of these.
I am unsure what action to take, and would like to ask for -ports
advice.
Cheers,
%Anton.
