Has portmgr considered a re-organization of the current
directory structure for ports?
troutmask:root[226] pwd
/usr/ports/devel
troutmask:root[227] ls | wc -l
3633
troutmask:root[228] ls | grep -E ^p5- | wc -l
1446
troutmask:root[229] ls | grep -E ^py- | wc -l
275
troutmask:root[230] ls | grep -E ^ruby- | wc -l
53
Having 1446 perl5 related directories sitting
under ports/devel seems silly, and prevents
one from using ls to quick scan ports/devel
for diffent ports.
How about adding ports/perl5, ports/python, ports/ruby?
One can then categorize, for example, the various p5-*
under an appropriate subdir ports/perl5/{math|www|mail}
