Do you see any other directory in the ports tree that has it's full
version number?

Don't leave in commented out lines.
Don't break from the existing style of MAINTAINER it will break scripts.
Do get portlint (ports/devel/portlint) and use it.
Do read http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/porting.html
Do look at other ports.

Okay. After reading this, please don't use p5-* when you have a port
that uses perl, that's just for perl modules.
I have no idea where this should go (see a previous PR for eggdrop which
was closed), but it surely doesn't belong in ${PREFIX}/${DISTNAME}
