Subject: Re: Updating p5-* ports for perl-5.005_01

 * OK - i think this is the way I'll do it (bearing in mind your tale
 * of the emacs FUBAR).

 :)

 * I'll put all the base stuff into
 * /usr/libdata/perl5/5.005/[{i386|alpha}-freebsd/]
                      ^^^^^
 * and plain old /usr/share/man/man.[13].

Hmm.  Is that really necessary?  The stuff in /usr/src is "the"
system, you don't really have to worry about coexisting with other
versions.  (It's not like someone's going to install both perl5.004
and perl5.005 in /usr/src on the same machine....)

The reason why I say this is because the stuff in /usr/src is usually
expected to overwrite itself as people upgrade with "make world".  I
don't know what people will think if there's a few megabytes of old
stuff left behind when we go to perl5.006....

 * For the time being, the ports should stay where they are:
 * /usr/local/lib/perl5/...
 * but I'd like to give advance warning that I'd like to move
 * them to
 * /usr/local/libexec/perl5/... (or something) later.

Ok.  (But remember, man pages aren't executables! ;)

 * So the current perl ports can go ahead as you have been doing with
 * the others. :-)

So I assume you're going to leave versions in there, right?  May I
commit the bsd.port.mk fix? :)

By the way, I noticed that the new perl really scatters stuff around
under site_perl.  There's some stuff directly under site_perl although 
most of the stuff goes under site_perl/5.005, then some stuff directly 
under there, some under the "auto" directory, then there's
site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd, then there's stuff there as well as
another "auto" subdirectory.

Is it really supposed to be this way? ;)
