The CPAN/Perl modules use @conflicts, @pkgdep, etc. As with all other BSD ports. -------------------------------------------------------------- ghealton@exit109.com http://www.exit109.com/~ghealton/ -------------------------------------------------------------- Computers are like air conditioners: they don't work well when Windows are left open On Mon, 14 Jun 2004, Olivier Tharan wrote: >* Gilbert C Healton (20040614 11:59): >> Is there a script that does most of the work for converting CPAN modules >> into BSD ports, such as the various p5-* ports?
