SQL::Abstract::Classic was inspired by the excellent DBIx::Abstract. However, in
using that module I found that what I really wanted to do was generate SQL, but
still retain complete control over my statement handles and use the DBI
interface. So, I set out to create an abstract SQL generation module.
While based on the concepts used by DBIx::Abstract, there are several important
differences, especially when it comes to WHERE clauses. I have modified the
concepts used to make the SQL easier to generate from Perl data structures and,
IMO, more intuitive. The underlying idea is for this module to do what you mean,
based on the data structures you provide it. The big advantage is that you don't
have to modify your code every time your data changes, as this module figures it
out.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
