about converters/p5-MIME-Base64 on perl 5.00503

Hi,

There are too many p5-* ports that mark IGNORE when PERL_LEVEL < 500600
due to the dependency of p5-MIME-Base64, which uses XSLoader and requires
perl 5.6.0 since p5-MIME-Base64-3.06.

I think we are still supporting FreeBSD 4 and its built-in perl 5.00503,
so it might be a problem for the older perl users.

Will it be a good idea to repocopy converters/p5-MIME-Base64 to
converters/p5-MIME-Base64-305, and use conditional dependency like what
we did for databases/p5-DBI and databases/p5-DBI-137 ?

any comments?
