That strikes me as an odd way to categorize software. I suppose some people don't want Perl on their system and having the Perl programs integrated with the mainstream (ie, compiled?) programs causes some kind of problem for them. Isn't there some way to solve those problems while allowing the Perl programs to be integrated so people can see them in the regular categories? Or maybe I shouldn't care about port directory structure at all and I should only care about the categorization of the ports html files (which then shouldn't be in the ports directories)?
