--- Comment #2 from Jason Unovitch <junovitch at freebsd.org> ---
Assign post https://svnweb.FreeBSD.org/changeset/ports/417686

The information upstream on this looks incorrect.  The preponderance of PCRE
entries [see 1] uses a CPE_VENDOR=pcre and CPE_PRODUCT=pcre which is the
default when cpe is added to USES.  However there are conflicting entries using
'perl-compatible_regular_expression_library' and
'perl_compatible_regular_expression_library'.  I've emailed an inquiry to 
cpe_dictionary at nist.gov per https://cpe.mitre.org/dictionary/ for
clarification.

Adam, I'll let you know the response when that happens but I would advise we
hold off adding incorrect or incomplete information for now.  If you'd like to
give me the thumbs up to make the change when I receive clarification go ahead
and assign the PR to me.
