math/p5-Math-Trig port -- unnecessary?

[Matthew Seaman]

Dear porters,

I noticed the presence of the math/p5-Math-Trig port containing
version 0.02 of the module, dating back to 1997.  This was committed
to cvs about two months ago, which strikes me as kind of odd, as
Math::Trig is a standard module which has been bundled with the
default perl install for all perl5 releases since at least
perl-5.005_03. It's up to version 1.01 by now.  Compare:

    http://search.cpan.org/author/JARW/Math-Trig-0.02/Trig.pm

    http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/lib/Math/Trig.pm

Seems a bit superfluous to me.  Is there some specific reason for
having this port?

	Cheers,

	Matthew
