* The reason for this (and I'm flexible) is that when the number changes,

Will there be anything left behind? I was under the impression that
5.00n+1 is always a strict superset of 5.00n. :)
Seriously, maybe you're right. I don't even pretend to know anything
about perl binaries (didn't even know they are binary!), so I'll stop
here.
* Sure. That also makes sense. I can go that way too. Given that it seems
* to be receiving more support, Ill doo that until the flames arrive :-).
Ok, but just don't blame it on me if people don't like it. :>
* Right - move man pages to /usr/local/man/man3? /usr/<mumble>/perl5/man/man3?
* Where?
I don't mind them going into /usr/local/man/man3, but maybe some
others do. how about /usr/local/share/perl/man/man3, maybe with the
version number inserted somewhere to be consistent (-ly annoying) with
others? (Or are manpages version-dependent too?)

* Please do.
Ok, will commit in a minute. (Call me paranoid, but I'm testing it
again...since I backed that part out of my earlier commit and
re-merged it....)
* > Is it really supposed to be this way? ;)
*
* *Cringe* Yup. The stuff under i386-freebsd (infact ${ARCH}-${OS}) is binary
* executable shared loadables *phew*. The stuff under auto is the autoloaded
* stuff that co-operates with the other .... and so on. It is nasty.
But then some things moved under version-specific or machine-specific
directories while some others didn't. That was what was confusing me.
Oh well. I was just "find"ing the filenames and patching up the
PLISTs. I'm not going to fix any more perl ports anyway. The rest is
someone else's problem. :)
