ports-current mail/p5-Mail-Folder
>Description:
Operation of Mail::Folder requires that the
CPAN "MIME-Tools" package be installed for such
items not included in converters/p5-MIME, and that
really don't belong in converters/, anyways.
MIME::Head.pm, for example, is a requirement Mail::Folder
(Can't locate MIME/Head.pm in @INC at ...Folder.pm line 17
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ...Mail/Folder.pm
line 17).
Makefile: 1997/06/24 18:43:24 jfitz
shows no dependencies other than PERL5=YES
>How-To-Repeat:
Install p5-Mail-Folder and attempt to use it WITHOUT
the supporting modules pre-installed. (current CPAN dist
is MIME-tools-3.204.tar.gz)
>Fix:
1.
Get a port of MIME-tools bundle. Is anyone working on this?
If so, I'll just wait a few hours };^o Seriously, if so,
an E-Mail response would be appreciated.
MIME-tools includes:
MIME::Body - Abstract message holder
MIME::Decoder - OO interface for decoding MIME messages
MIME::Entity - An extracted and decoded MIME entity
MIME::Field::* - Mail::Field subclasses for field parsing
MIME::Head - Parsed MIME header (Mail::Header subclass)
MIME::IO - Simple I/O handles for files/scalars
MIME::Latin1 - Encoding 8-bit Latin-1 as ASCII
MIME::Parser - Parse stream to create MIME entities
MIME::ParserBase for extending MIME::Parser
MIME::ToolUtils for tweaking the entire library
and programs
mimedump - dump summary of a message
mimeexplode - parse/decode MIME message into its component
files
mimesend - send a message with attachments from the
commandline (xfmail clone in Perl?)
This port (MIME-tools) should depend on converters/p5-MIME
as it requires those for QP and Base64. Distribution includes
but does not install MIME::QuotedPrintable and MIME::Base64,
or so the readme says.
This port (MIME-tools) really somehow needs to be combined
with Mail::Folder, as tht is a listed requirement in the
readme. Hmmm not sure, yet, if there are cross-dependencies!
Odds are that dependencies are there for the included programs.

2.
Insert that as a run-depends in current port of
Mail::Folder.
