* Any real reason for this rule? As a ports user, I really don't care * *where* something comes from. I'll read the MASTER_SITES if I do. It's not so much "where" as in physical location, as it is about which collection it comes from. The CPAN archives have a distinct "taste" that we thought would be nice to be inferred from the package name. * However, as a budding Perl hacker (well I hope) I do care if a port is * for Perl5. If you are looking for perl ports to hack, just grep perl in ports/INDEX. :) Satoshi
