Right - it looks as though splitting out manpages will be a bit
problematic, but the idea of putting p5-* _code_ into local/libexec/perl5/*
is certainly going to eventually happen. I won't do it at first so
as not to break the ports tree.

:-) When I am commit ready, I'll start yelling and finalising policy
with you. I will not commit until you are happy.

Yup.

-I<LOCALBASE> in the perl command line or an entry in /etc/make.conf
I suppose.

At a first look, this looks OK. I wasn't planning to put in the
version on the /usr/bin/perl5 binary, but it seems like a good
thing, so I'll do it.

I'll bear that in mind.
