I just removed p5-File-HStore's dependency on Digest::SHA2 and Digest::SHA1,
replacing it with Digest::SHA

I sent an email to the author of the module to see if he will update the module
on CPAN, and when I hear back from him, I will submit a PR with and update to
the port.

If I don't hear back from him, I will release the changes as a patch to the
port.

Can you maybe hold of a week on this port's removal?

Thanks
