* Make perl stop installing anything in the man3 directory. It's starting
to install things like "open.3" and "lib.3" which confuse users. Perl
ships with a documentation tool, "perldoc", for this purpose; create a
MESSAGE indicating that it should be used instead. (Perl still installs
command line program manual pages in man1.)
* Integrate bsd.perl.mk into the perl5-base build where it should have been
from the beginning. The separate perl-mk pkg makes binary packages of
perl-mk completely useless[*]. Older perl builders will not break, since
<bsd.pkg.mk> contains fallback definitions that are evaluated at pkg
build time.
=====
[*] bsd.perl.mk is tightly bound to the version of perl that is installed.
The version name "perl-mk-1.1" is completely useless as a binary pkg,
since keeping multiple binary versions of perl on a FTP server means
that one of the perl-mk's will get clobbered.
However, putting the current pkgsrc PERL5_DIST_VERS in the perl-mk pkg
is also a problem, because that doesn't necessarily reflect the
installed version of perl. Snarfing the installed version at perl-mk
build time would be even uglier, since you could not then walk the tree
without perl being installed.
The cleanest solution is to integrate bsd.perl.mk into the perl5-base
pkg, and let those who have not upgraded perl yet use the runtime
definitions in <bsd.pkg.mk>.
