Hi!

chinese/p5-Lingua-ZH-BPMFConvert is marked BROKEN, because
the distfile is no longer available on CPAN.

But it is available on

http://backpan.perl.org/

http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/L/LU/LUKHNOS/

So, is it OK to unbreak this if we reference backpan ?

Would be useful/acceptable to have some

BACKPAN

macro in bsd.sites.mk ?
