How do I go about requesting a new Perl port for the Locale::Language 
module that was taken out of Perl 5.30? www/foswiki depends on that 
module and some of its functions have not worked since I upgraded the 
wiki system to 5.30. Since I use ports exclusively, I do not wish to 
revert to cpan to install such modules.

A quick check on CPAN shows Locale::Language to be part of the 
Locale-Codes distribution (https://metacpan.org/release/Locale-Codes). 
A search on FreeBSD Ports 
(https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=locale-codes&stype=all&sektion=all) 
shows that there already exists a port for Locale-Codes.  However, it 
appears to be several versions behind CPAN.  So perhaps you could 
contact the maintainer to do an update of the port.

Thank you very much.
