If it's clean there, and it does the build, install, make package and delete package without a whimper, heck, for a first time port, that's terrific! Course, you're not the usual first time porter ... James Fitzgibbons has committed about 59 billion different Perl5 things like that, and (so you don't commit a duplicate port) he should be checked with, and I'm cc'ing here here. I _WISH_ that there had been a p5 category made, because without that, it's really hard not to do duplicates on Perl stuff.
