Folks,
I'm making a package for the p5 module "Date-Calc" (needed for some
ramdom perl program I downloaded), and have a question or three. First,
here's the PLIST I'm working with (and I'm not a perl sorta guy in
general, so take it easy on me!):
	@comment $NetBSD$
	lib/perl5/${MACHINE_ARCH}-${LOWER_OPSYS}/5.00404/perllocal.pod
	lib/perl5/man/man3/Date::Calc.3
	lib/perl5/site_perl/${MACHINE_ARCH}-${LOWER_OPSYS}/auto/Date/Calc/.packlist
	lib/perl5/site_perl/${MACHINE_ARCH}-${LOWER_OPSYS}/auto/Date/Calc/Calc.bs
	lib/perl5/site_perl/${MACHINE_ARCH}-${LOWER_OPSYS}/auto/Date/Calc/Calc.so
	lib/perl5/site_perl/Date/Calc.pm
	@dirrm lib/perl5/site_perl/${MACHINE_ARCH}-${LOWER_OPSYS}/auto/Date/Calc
	@unexec rmdir %D/lib/perl5/site_perl/${MACHINE_ARCH}-${LOWER_OPSYS}/auto/Date 2>/dev/null || true
 Q1) The first file (perllocal.pod) also exists in the net/p5-Net-DNS
 package, and thus will conflict. No other perl5 package seems to
 add this file. Any advice?
 Q2) The "@unexec rmdir" will try to remove the .../Date directory,
 which will fail if the directory is not empty (if another p5-Date-*
 package is still installed). Hence the use of "@unexec rmdir"
 instead of just "@dirrm". It seems a few perl packages try to
 clean up any intermediate directories, but not many. Should we
 have a "@dirrm-f" or something similar that doesn't fail with the
 "unable to completely remove directory" error?
 Q3) I'm using:
	DISTNAME=	Date-Calc-4.2
	PKGNAME=	p5-${DISTNAME}
 in the Makefile, after pkglint complained about something based on
	PKGNAME=	p5-TimeDate-1.08
	DISTNAME!=	echo ${PKGNAME} | sed -e 's/^p5-//'
 Is the first the preferred form?
Simon.
