I am going to create a FreeBSD port of PDL - Perl Data Language. 1. It seems that most perl-related ports in a port tree have p5- prefix. Is it really necessary? I mean that PDL is a very large package on its own, and I think that math/PDL is a good name for it. Can I go for it? 2. It has several optional dependencies, among them OpenGL. Should I include those dependencies in the port? (As I said, they are optional, it is possible to build PDL without them, though with a somewhat limited functionality). 3. It requires perl5, which was a port by itself in <= 2.2.7. Since PDL has certain scripts, not only modules, how can I ensure that the correct shebang will be used, i.e. #! /usr/bin/perl for 2.2.8 & 3.0 and #! /usr/local/bin/perl (or other) for <= 2.2.7?
