I am currently maintaining the port devel/p5-Heap-Simple which currently requires perl5.6. The author has released a new-and-improved version that now requires perl5.8. As not everybody runs 5.8 (I currently do not) I would like to keep the 5.6 version available. I am new to port maintanance and am unsure how to proceed: 1) Should I just ignore the 5.8 version and leave the port at perl5.6? 2) Should I submit the perl5.8 version under a different name? If so, what is the convention? 3) Or should I simply clobber the 5.6 version with the new perl5.8 one? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! Aaron
