Well,

It looks like spamcup wasn't the only victim of this upgrade, today I
went to run a script I have on another box that uses p5-WWW-Mechanize
only to find that www/p5-HTML-Form was needed yet again. I imagine there
may be quite a few other ports that depend on p5-libwww that should
really depend on p5-HTML-Form.

Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone want to try and figure out
what those ports are and fix them?

Thanks!
