installation needed when including perl5/buildlink3.mk. The only
option currently supported is "threads", which implies that a perl
that supports threads is required. The requirement is checked at
pre-install time using an INSTALL script template by both the package
build and the binary package.
Add PERL5_OPTIONS+=threads to both devel/p5-SDL and graphics/p5-GD
since those modules require a perl that supports threads.

+ move the patch digest/checksum values from files/patch-sum to distinfo
|
|
as well as other modules from a standard installation of perl-5.6.0.
