Hello!
I plan to improve a perl subsystem. Here is what I'v planed:
1) make perl ports coexists without conflicts. So, you'll able install
all perls and switch between them with use.perl <perl_version) (5.6.1,
5.8.0 and system for -STABLE). One perl will active, other passive but
still able to use. Active perl will have all perl stuff in
/usr/local/bin and will have active man pages, other perl will have only
/usr/bin/perl${PERL_VER} and /usr/local/bin/perl${PERL_VER}.
(90% done)
2) move all perl related stuff from bsd.port.mk to bsd.perl.mk. Just
like ruby and python. (100% done, testing)
3) make ability to install any perl depended ports for perl version you
want. You'll able to install the ports for all perls in your system
without conflicts (They'll be differ with PKGNAMEPREFIX: p5-, p56-,
p58-). (0% done, thinking :).
Any comments?
