It should have been used instead of depends_lib because the perl5 group code already sets depends_lib to pull in perl5.8

If you set depends_lib again, you wipe out whatever was set before.

So, as a general rule, if you're using any of the group code, you should stick with the -append versions.

Ah! Didn't know that. I have not done that in the perl modules I've contributed, some anonymously. Is there some easy way to determine which perl ports use depends_lib rather than depends_lib-append? A script to parse the directories in dports/perl/ and look for "depends_lib " with a space at the end is all the comes to mind. Mark
