The least surprising thing (in my opinion) is to continue to have the macports perl module experience match every other platform.
Yes, but for instance, Debian doesn't provide a package for Math::BigInt. vin:~> apt-file search Math/BigInt.pm perl-modules: usr/share/perl/5.8.4/Math/BigInt.pm perl-modules: usr/share/perl/5.8.8/Math/BigInt.pm i.e. it comes from the core modules only. Now, should MacPorts provide a p5-math-bigint port or should one do like Debian, i.e. provide the core module (in the perl5.8 port) only? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
