Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Update to 5.6.2.  Also:

- redirect output from h2ph to /dev/null [1];
- fix File::Path insecure file/directory permissions [2];
  this resolves CAN-2004-0452
  (http://vuxml.freebsd.org/c418d472-6bd1-11d9-93ca-000a95bc6fae.html);
- for OSVERSION < 500036, create symlinks in /usr/bin not only for
  perl and suidperl, but also for a2p, c2ph, find2perl, h2ph, h2xs,
  perlbug, perlcc, perldoc, pl2pm, pod2html, pod2latex, pod2man,
  pod2text, s2p, and splain;  perl and suidperl are still enough for
  more recent FreeBSD versions [3];
- clean up created symlinks upon deinstallation [4];
- try to cleanup symlinks created by older versions of lang/perl5 and
  lang/perl5.8, during both installation and deinstallation [5];
- added support for DISABLE_BSDPAN environment variable [6];
- be explicit about use.perl usage after installation of 4.X systems,
  and on systems where lang/perl5.8 is prefered to lang/perl5; the exact
  range is OSVERSION < 500036 || OSVERSION >= 502100 [7];
- respect __MAKE_CONF partially (the build-time value is used) [8];
- use.perl is now the same as pkg-install is now the same as
  pkg-deinstall;  apart from the changes already mentioned above, this
  is a shell script now;
- use.perl's logic is also simplified in several ways [9];
- fix a BSDPAN bug [10];
- create and remove %%SITE_PERL%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/auto, just
  like  lang/perl5.8 does, to silent pointyhat [11];
- apply a patch to handle daylight saving time correctly in
  POSIX::strftime [12];
- the port now creates and uses shared libperl.so, as lang/perl5.8 port
  does;
- move MAN3 manual pages under ${PREFIX}/lib/perl5/${PERL_VER}/perl, as
  to avoid conflict with some of the p5 ports;
- do not build suidperl by default any longer;  one should use
  ENABLE_SUIDPERL to do that;
- move out manpage list to a separate Makefile.man;
- in general, the port layout is made much more similar to lang/perl5.8,
  including.

Outstanding issues: Module::Build support for BSDPAN, SU_CMD support (PR
70831), PR 64963 (partially), and anything else that I forgot.

Use a cleaner, documented way to obtain the path of BSDPAN.  This fixes
the problems with threaded perl build.  The threaded perl is curently
unsupported by this port but seems to work fine with this fix applied.
